Rethink your business model
Complacent business attitudes are keeping Canadian businesses from succeeding in today’s economy. In an editorial in the Globe and Mail, Konrad Yakabuski names Blackberry and Nortel as two companies that were guilty of refusing to rethink your business model. These are very high profile failures. Kodak is another example. They are just now coming out of bankruptcy protection.
As a small businessman I was involved with Kodak when I operated a 1Hour photo lab. Kodak refused to accept that consumers were going to stop using film and switch over completely to digital imaging. Despite having invented most of the technology behind digital cameras, Kodak would not commit to digital photography. Like other too big to fail companies they were only focused on the the most profitable aspect of their business.
The Globe and Mail article outlines a common Canadian mistake. Refusing to rethink your business model out of the fear that it would alienate existing customers. Canadians are branded as being “slow moving” in their reactions to a business in crisis.
