Avoiding shipwreck - Challenges and responses to the economic crisis

The postal sector continues to fight for its survival. Even without the financial crisis the market is facing immense internal change from the declining domestic volumes to re-evaluation of service provision and high staff costs. Radical change is needed in order to address these challenges but the restrictions on effectively deploying this change from the different stakeholder groups often halt the progress needed. 

Add in the effects of the financial crisis and we can expect to see consolidation, new entrants leaving the market, declining appetite to liberalise markets and a drought of debt capital.
What does this mean for you? Even if you feel comfortable about your own company's situation, have you thought about your main customers, suppliers and competitors - how is your market changing? Are there new opportunities or threats? Have you evaluated the main scenarios and developed action plans action plans accordingly?
