I was speaking with a group of CEOs in Detroit today. The speaker before me had been discussing the typical business cycle: envision – growth – mature – decline – envision – etc. As I was talking about the keys to creating demand, I commented that I don’t believe that the traditional business cycle is a requirement. I believe that it can, in fact, be broken. I shared that my business cycle looked more like this: envision – growth – mature/envision – growth – mature/envision – growth – etc.
