In early November, as the financial crises was still fresh in its horror, Sam Palmisano announced "Smart Planet" a new IBM concept, via a speech at the council of Foreign Relations in New York. The intention for now is to stimulate discussion and pin down the idea of intelligent networks for future infrastructure or any of the other aspects of a smarter capacity for roards, buildings, supply chains etc. With a modest communication effort, IBM can put the "Smart Planet" idea on public policy agendas and own an idea ripe for action whenever recovery occurs.
You don't have to be IBM to own ideas.
Get rid of things that that have outlived their usefulness.
This is a personal lesson since i deal with crises by removing basement clutter or giving away old clothes nothing like that clean closet feeling and the action is under my control. The same principle applies to business.
Concentrate Helping your users, clients or customers succeed.
Always good advice but now we have to really mean it.Obviously companies dependent on their revenue-paying customers cannot afford to stand while those customers decline. Sometime that involves giving them extras for nothing.Generosity might not get you anything now but you will be well positioned in future, hopefully with healthier customers and bigger ideas.
