First in Forecasts Since 1948
The Road AheadIt is important to know where you are relative to the general economic trend

2022 Backside of the Business Cycle
5 Pieces of Actionable Advice for Phase C
29
1. Develop your rates-of-change so you will know when the trough is near
(Use the ITR Checking Points™)
2. Focus on the segments of the business that are the most profitable in Phase C
3. Trumpet your Phase C competitive advantages and start developing your
message for the next phase (B or D, depending on your industry)
4. Cash Management for proper allocation and Inventory Control if applicable
5. Ask yourself what you shouldn’t be doing? (resource management and
diversion to more profitable parts of the company)
