Comment on Keeping a Healthy Business Checklist by Pamela Campagna

Mike,
This is a great question - especially at year end as organizations struggle to plan to do more with less in 2009. Here are a few tips that I’ve been passing along to clients:
- Group similar activities across the organization for efficiencies. For example, combine multiple products in an advertising campaign or marketing program instead of separate activities. The costs can be shared across product lines/LOBs.
- Take a close look at the real value of certain activities. How does each program/activity really affect the bottom line?
- Now is the time to invest in your organization. I encourage clients to scrutinize investments in most areas. For some, this has always been standard practice. For others, they are becoming accustomed to a “new way of doing business”.

Pam,

From a consultant’s perspective, what advice can you give technology managers faced with staff downsizing as a result of the economic downturn? How can you manage a brand and go-to-market project for a new product with fewer resources in these uncertain times?

Comment on Building and Running a Business is Like Graduating from High School by Ann M. Murray

Congratulations to Ms. Campagna on celebrating her 11th year as Founder and CEO of Blue Sage Consulting, and on marking the momentous milestone of her daughter’s graduation from high school. Just as her daughter will be embarking on a totally new adventure as she starts her college experience in late August, Ms. Campagna has embarked on the next phase of her personal and business life with a great analogy that she has written about by launching her first blog — a huge step for any business owner. She has also redesigned her website to showcase her business, services offerings, and newly launched product offerings. So, while she may write that for her daughter, “the world is her oyster”, I would also put my money on Ms. Campagna because there’s more than one oyster in the sea and the Blue Sage Oyster is poised to offer pearls of wisdom, experience, and solutions to world wide clients the likes of which shall we say “the best is yet to come!” Stay tuned…
