For many, the road ahead is challenging. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has predicted that the UK will have the slowest growth in the G7 and across Europe’s main economies at 1.2% for 2023.

If you are in business and you know growth is slowing, inflation is rising and there are supply chain issues then what actions can you take to shore up resilience and stay ahead of the curve?

Building business resilience requires several key attributes.

  • Collaboration amongst departments, your suppliers and even fellow businesses.
  • Sharing resources and removing inefficiencies with duplicate information and processes.
  • Team formation so all employees know what impact they have on the business and can adapt to changes.
  • Suppleness and adaptability to make changes.
  • Having a business culture that allows for some failures or mistakes with new ways of doing things and learning from them and adjusting swiftly.
  • Spending time working on change management as well as working “in the business”.

Where do you start? Our top performing clients regularly discuss building resilience with all employees and collect their ideas and thoughts so, together, the whole team can work for change.

Information is power and we hope the below round up of the latest tax and business news will help. Before that we would like to share some good news with you.
