Less is the new More

The current global economic crisis, with its paralyzing scarcity of cash and credit, effects everyone. But, there is a deeper scarcity that will prolong the downturn.

The last 100 years have been a time of enormous abundance and economic expansion. However, with abundance came exponential global population growth, leading to ever smaller pieces of the pie for those seeking to emulate the "American Dream."

Consumption of resources is off the charts. We are bumping up against the limits of the earths ability to provide for us. There is less to go around, at a time when the world wants more.

Business as Unusual

When people start asking: "Can I afford to heat my home, drive to work, feed my family, get healthcare, pay my mortgage?" and so on, consumer behavior changes. Massively.

• Markets falter
• Revenues decline
• Costs go up
• Consumer confidence erodes

The rules of the past are turned upside down. "Business as Usual" won't cut it. An economy of scarcity is unfolding, and it has staying power. How do you plan for that?
