Topic: "Making Tough Business Growth Decisions" Investing limited resources in the right order for faster business growth

Few businesses have enough extra cash to quickly recover from poor investment decisions, especially in today's economic climate. How do you decide which strategic investments to make and not to make and in what order? For instance, what do you do first, hire people, standardize processes or upgrade technology? Your business future depends on how you answer these questions.
