Business as Unusual

I was visiting with some colleagues last week and someone commented about business as usual.  My response was, it's, "business as unusual".  We announced a merger two weeks ago which is expected to close mid-year.  Until closing we need to continue to profitably conduct business while also working through merger planning.  Ours is a unique situation that causes everyone in the franchise to assess what and how we are doing things.  However, it's advantageous for everyone in any organization to consider conducting business as unusual.  If we continue to do the same things we can expect the same or diminished results.  To remain competitive as a business or relevant as a non-profit, we must continually assess the best ways to achieve the results we want.
