Very often, postive change begins to happen when company culture and thinking shifts to a longer-term perspective. This is enabled by enlisting leadership support for long-term strategic planning - carried out in the context of improving the annual investment/portfolio planning, especially in tough economic times!

My perspective is that today's climate requires entrepreneurs to focus on the 'one thing' they do better than anyone else (their competition, incumbent solutions or status quo). That 'one thing' becomes the foundation of their value proposition, product/services differentiation, market positioning and will help drive value for their customers, partners and engender future offerings. When you have built momentum with the chosen capability, then you expand, with agility, into newer opportunity spaces. Entrepreneurs acting this way can sharpen focus, conserve capital and build on success - but it does require rigor to narrow down to the chosen differentiator.
