Inventory’s Role in Contingency Planning
One of my favorite moments from NEMOA's Fall 2011 directXchange Conference was when Country Curtain’s President Phil McAvoy said the following during his keynote speech: “Don’t be a hero at budget times.” His point is that you should already have contingency plans in place so you can respond to the inevitable challenges that arise during the year. Be a hero when it counts — at the end of the year when you meet or exceed your budget.
