With massive shifts and uncertainty in the markets right now, most companies are working on defensive plans like reducing spend and increasing cash to get through.
While defensive strategies might help a company survive, thriving is an entirely different matter. In order to exit the current climate in a stronger competitive position and to lead their market, companies must play offense.
