    A little introduction of Mr. Bansod -

    Abhijit Bansod is a quirky designer who thinks not just out of the box, but out of the whole carton. His products are not only prism to a whimsical wit and a love of surprise, but they also conjure pain and emotion. They escape the Pandora's box of mere functionality to beautifully revealed stories and poemsΓ’€Β¦and interact with their users, heightening creativity and imagination.

    It doesn't mean that you need to an engineering company for innovating.

    1. Align your board to realities.
    The old "expectation" is unrealistic.

    eg. top line, margin#
    BUT may need to make some investments so take a hit on profitability.

    2. For sales driven organization we get closer to existing customers. New business will be harder as the customers are cutting back.
    BUT for existing customers you are a "trusted"partner to "to get things done" that they are not doing with other vendors.

    3. Experiment in your products.

    This may be the time to introduce a "lower cost" and "lower resistance to buying" product lines.

    Example: Enterprise license to SaaS.

    BUT Be aware that they also require a whole new set of execution realities.

    -Cash flow, sales force change.
