Australia/New Zealand Edition—April 2009The ‘R’ wordRead the headlines in any newspaper. The whole world is talking recession. Doing business in the next 12 months is going to get a whole lot tougher. What worked last year probably will not work this year. Now is the time when everyone in business needs to think carefully about what they do and how they do it. The Business of Thinking program gives people the skills to think carefully and effectively in a whole brain way. Another ‘R’ wordRisk! When it comes to the financial markets, lots of people are choosing not to risk it at the moment. The challenge business has is to keep on going.
