Yes if only the big Co’s going down in these tough times had set up some form of Structural integrity system that had been ready to support a system in criscic then this  current downturn would be quite different.

Call it  debt reserve fund, or a risk management strategy…. either way it could have aved the bacon. Doubtless there is someone in side these big Co’s (GM, ABC leaning etc) that is saying “I told you so”… and the same with some business professors I am sure.

Therefore before crap hits the fan make sure your organisation has enough support to keep things viable, lean and hunrgy all the way, even the squirrels know to put things away for that rainy day.

I see it as a basic foundation that needs more support, so if they are a publicly listed Co, don’t just rely on the shareholders, shore up the foundations so they don’t get washed away.
