Opportunities in adversity

In January 2009, we published our Opportunities in adversity study to provide a basis for discussion with executives as they grappled with the implications of the economic downturn. We argued that during a credit crunch, the management of cash is a key determinant of success. Every company falls somewhere on the stress pendulum between cash burn and cash earn; and for every business there is an appropriate course of action to take. By executing that course of action quickly and effectively, management teams can seize a potential source of competitive advantage.

Six months on, we have reviewed our experience to date to see whether any emerging trends or patterns provide additional insight to executives in the current circumstances. We have also gone back to the market ? both to test our perspectives and to see the progress and the new priorities of the world's C-suites, as they continue to implement and accelerate the changes they have launched in their organizations. We recently published the results of this research, and now it's the topic of a new series of webcasts.

Join these Thought Center Webcasts as we hear from Ernst & Young professionals and guest speakers about how your company can emerge as a leader to become the business that will be best placed to win in the post-crisis world.
