What Lies Ahead For Businesses in 2023?

What Lies Ahead For Businesses in 2023?

Will the Great Resignation continue??

That’s part of the uncertainty businesses will experience in the coming year. One thing for sure is that businesses across the country will face continued inflationary pressure and an economy in disarray in 2023.?

But, at the least, the disconnect between employers and employees will continue.

In 2023 and beyond, successful companies will be results-driven, coupled with a tenacious attention to holistic systems processes.?

Their leaders will be resilient and move the company from short-term to long-term planning.

Their #1 business priority will be the customer experience with a focus on profit following (resulting from customer experience focus).

Resource Expansion Through Collaboration Partnerships

Successful companies will save resources, reduce expenses and grow profits through use of collaboration models. This starts internally at the company first. Management will identify problems and form collaborative teams to address and solve those problems internally.?

Next, companies will seek collaborative partners in the business community to grow resources by collaborating on shipping, warehousing and storage, administrative resources, etc.?

A Word of Caution

Remember, collaboration is not for everyone. Some people are not suited to working in a collaborative model. They don’t see themselves as collaborators. Rather, they are – and will continue to be – competitors.?

Therefore, it is essential for the success of your collaboration efforts that you select the right partners. Partners who will collaborate, not compete.?

It is also essential that you identify the problem that the collaborative team will address. And make sure that they can solve the problem.?

It does no good to put a collaborative team together, only to find out weeks or months later that the problem the team was created to address could not be remedied.?
