1. We are not new, we are not small - so how do we keep our position
mid-long term as a dynamic, nimble, innovative business (not the place
to share the solution - but we have a plan that we have been rolling out
over last 12 months)
2. Staff and client retention still excellent - so how do we prevent the
people and the relationships going a tiny bit stale. Its connected to
point 1 clearly. We are trying to shake things up for people with their
career development and responsibilities while seamlessly changing our
offering to clients so that hopefully they get the continuity they
appear to value while challenging them to look at new solutions and
different approaches. This sounds great as a sentence above - it is
harder to actually do.....
3. Tectonic plates of candidate attraction are shifting again -
Programmatic is growing very very fast for us - which is probably good
but how does that impact on job boards, PPC, LinkedIn. I feel pretty
warm and comfortable about this as we have always been media and
platform neutral - but we have to be the EXPERTS (clue is in the
original name of the business)
4. China economy going down the pan, Energy/Oil prices at rock bottom
levels, stock markets plummeting - next recession/depression
imminent......happily we can do absolute zip about this so lets just
ignore and concentrate on controlling the controllables!
time for a nap......
