TRENDS
Lots of recent travel and networking have revealed the following – I wonder how my perception of TRENDS match up with what you are seeing, as follows:
Decisions: in the Board Room and the Dining Room, are taking longer to make for even the most simple situations…
Pre-sell: the short term window used to be 3 months and now it's less than 30 days
Lay-offs: the easy decisions of reducing staff and payroll have been made, now the pink slips are at the VP level
Market-share: the leaders are taking larger slices of a smaller pie
AH - but there is another TREND
that prevails as well…the INNovators…those creating new business
models, new value added packages, new pre-sell pricing, new
partnerships, new guest experience options….these are the Inns and
other business models that will continue to pre-vail…
so,are you an INNovator or a manager of the same old, same old?
