Back to the Future, Starting with the Basics
I am always impressed with the resiliency of our customers. We are all emerging from some very difficult times, and I will not suggest that they are over. But it has been interesting to see how many of our customers have used the downturn as an impetus to meet with their Citywide banker and thoughtfully review their business plans. They are not unaware of the challenges and they are not reacting in desperation. They are acknowledging conditions and planning a way forward. In many cases this has meant a back to basics approach, recognizing the strengths that originally propelled their business – emphasizing core capabilities, empowering key people, paring expenses and managing expectations. It is these businesses that today are the most well prepared for the future. They are careful but not fearful; confident but realistic. We admire their determination and will do everything we can to see that they are positioned to enjoy the benefits of the improved economy that is sure to come.
