In this episode, Jeannette is interviewed by Alex Chisnall from the Screw It Just Do It podcast. They discuss how to get your business ready to respond to any scenario or change in market conditions.

They also cover how to put the right protocols in place, test and adapt them as the way the world works changes. How to recognise opportunities and be ready to take advantage of them. As well as spotting changes that may make it harder for you to compete, so you can quickly adapt and maintain market share.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Taking stock is step one of managing a crisis. 
• Stay calm, don´t spook your team and make a firm decision. Don’t procrastinate.
• Communication is key.
• Document protocols for all sorts of scenarios. Test and update them once a quarter.
• Market dynamics can change fast. Have processes in place to spot market shifts so that you are ready for trouble. Or, when that change is in your favour, to take advantage.
• When you see an opportunity, move fast. Get a minimal product out there. Then test, evaluate and learn.
• Prioritise innovations and opportunities then focus on them. In the podcast, Jeannette explains the 70/20/10 rule she uses to work out how to allocate resources.
• To be able to respond fast, you need to hire and develop the right people.
• Create the right culture for your team to perform at their best.
• Even solopreneurs can sit down once a month, create a bit of headspace to innovate and prioritise.
• Change is normal, so your business should be ready to cope with it.
• Often, the people who are dealing directly with your customers are the ones that have the best ideas.
