Companies need to look for ways to stay profitable in the face of shrinking consumer spend today, and be in a position to take advantage of opportunities when the economy turns around.

Off-setting revenue loss by cost reduction seems like a logical way to remain profitable. Cost reductions may achieve desired cost savings, but they can also, and often, have a negative impact on future competitiveness of the company. Companies need a surgical approach to cutting costs rather than a chain saw approach. This will minimize the possibility of cutting out potentially profitable parts (like products, customers, lines, resources and locations) that would take years and significant investments to rebuild. Companies can profitably grow revenue (even in a shrinking market), by identifying and leveraging niches of high profitability in their products, customers, vendors and channels.
