“The Trends Report can be a really precise and concise summary of the key economic factors that potentially can impact their business performance and their decision-making going forward. I think it’s really a key strategic tool that any senior management team can leverage to really help them make those decisions on where to invest not just their money, but their time, their energy, and their resources.” – Slade Kobran, Chief Outsiders Managing Partner

“Using the Trends Report can help to inform those decisions that are most critical to achieving success. It really can help solidify what the future looks like – not just for the company, but for the broader economy and how it relates to the company. I find that when our clients use the Trends Report in that way, it helps them achieve better outcomes.” – Slade Kobran

“There’s great information in the ITR Management Objectives™ about what we should be doing, considering what’s going on this cycle, and what we should be anticipating in the next cycle. Those are really helpful. … One of my favorites is when you’re in recession – stay positive because you really want to be looking forward to the next cycle where we start to grow, and remind everybody that we’re not going to be in this recession forever.” – Greg Gens
Each market forecast in the Trends Report includes a Management Objective™. Each Management Objective is an actionable piece of advice built for each of the four phases of the business cycle:
- Phase A, Recovery
- Phase B, Accelerating Growth
- Phase C, Slowing Growth
- Phase D, Recession
No matter where your business or markets are in the business cycle, we provide clear and actionable advice to help you focus your energy and efforts on the most important objectives.
