hot topic
automation
When processes are automated they’re more efficient and cost effective. It’s a simple fact but it’s one that printers seem to have mixed views on. They either wholeheartedly embrace automation, or ignore it preferring to have a little bit of automation but not a totally automated workflow.

staffing options in a crisis
There is a difference between fiddling whilst the ship sinks and organising the rescue operation. Josh Bersin said that there is a difference between “what has changed now” and “what has changed forever” – a crucial difference to inform our business planning. Here are some of our ideas for staying business savvy with your staffing options in difficult times.
managing cash flow in a crisis
All businesses must keep a positive cash flow and make a profit in the long run to keep the business running, offer a return to their shareholders and allow reinvestment for the future. Having control of your finances in a time of crisis is absolutely critical. Therefore all business planning for a crisis must include the critical step where the finance manager/director takes the lead and runs the numbers to check what is proposed works financially, and if not prompts a fresh review.
View Guideis your brand digitally prepared?
Due to recent developments relating to COVID-19, the way you communicate with your audience will need to change and adapt. Not only should you focus on reacting to the ‘right now’, you should also prepare for how your brand will need to act in the future. It is important to anticipate how your audience’s behaviours could change in the next few months, but also the effect this will have in the long term.
