A recession requires businesses to adapt and strategize effectively to navigate through challenging economic times. Key strategies include implementing cost-cutting measures such as reducing discretionary spending, renegotiating contracts with suppliers, and optimizing operational efficiency. Additionally, diversifying revenue streams, focusing on customer retention, and investing in marketing efforts to maintain brand visibility are crucial. Businesses should also prioritize cash flow management, maintaining adequate reserves, and exploring opportunities for innovation and strategic partnerships. Q2: How can businesses protect themselves from the impact of a recession? Businesses can protect themselves from the impact of a recession by proactively assessing their financial health and implementing risk mitigation strategies. This includes building up cash reserves during periods of economic growth, reducing debt obligations, and maintaining a strong relationship with lenders or investors. Businesses should also continuously monitor market trends and adjust their strategies accordingly, diversifying their customer base and product offerings to reduce vulnerability to economic downturns. Q3: What role does leadership play in managing a business during a recession? Leadership plays a critical role in guiding businesses through challenging economic conditions. Effective leaders must inspire confidence, foster resilience among employees, and communicate transparently about the company's goals and challenges. They should also demonstrate adaptability and decisiveness in making tough decisions, such as restructuring or downsizing if necessary, while prioritizing the well-being of their workforce. Moreover, leaders should lead by example, staying informed about industry trends and best practices, and encouraging a culture of innovation and continuous improvement. Q4: How can businesses maintain employee morale and engagement during a recession? Maintaining employee morale and engagement during a recession is essential for sustaining productivity and retaining talent. Businesses can achieve this by fostering open communication channels, providing regular updates about the company's performance and future plans, and soliciting feedback from employees on ways to improve operations. Offering opportunities for professional development, recognizing and rewarding employee contributions, and promoting a positive work-life balance can also boost morale. Additionally, transparent and empathetic leadership, coupled with a supportive company culture, can help alleviate anxiety and uncertainty among employees. Q5: What resources are available to businesses for managing through a recession? Businesses have access to various resources and support mechanisms to help them navigate through a recession. Government agencies often provide assistance programs, grants, or tax incentives aimed at supporting small businesses during economic downturns. Additionally, industry associations, chambers of commerce, and business networks offer resources such as workshops, training programs, and mentorship opportunities. Financial institutions may provide guidance on accessing credit or restructuring debt to improve liquidity. Moreover, consulting firms and business advisors can offer tailored advice and strategies based on industry-specific challenges and opportunities. By leveraging these resources, businesses can better position themselves to weather the effects of a recession and emerge stronger in the long run.

One Shared Owner: artists talking about creating collaborative space and sustainability with SaltSpace and Vanilla Ink Join us for a conversation exploring how artist-led initiatives are set up, why they are necessary and perhaps most importantly how they evolve and sustain themselves over time.  SaltSpace and Vanilla Ink will be sharing their experiences setting up as a Cooperative and Community Interest Company; and how they operate as an artist led space and community for creative practitioners.  SaltSpace will be hosting Dr Deborah Jackson, Head of Fine Art Critical Studies at the Glasgow School of Art, and Ellie Smith-Barratt, Chief Executive Officer at Vanilla Ink. Both Deborah and Ellie will be sharing their experiences with artist-led initiatives, thinking about the topic of sustaining creative spaces and communities in Scotland, with a specific focus on supports for early career practitioners in Glasgow and more broadly across Scotland.  This conversation will be an opportunity to think about the transitional space of moving from student to graduate and into practicing as a professional artist. We will be talking about supports for recent graduates and early career artists in the form of organisations and initiatives set up by / for recent graduates due to the lack of support system often provided by institutions. We will be thinking about the need to support collaboration and foster community during that time, and what mechanisms of support are in place for this, and how we can improve and strengthen these supports. Context: This event is co-hosted and supported by the Scottish Artist Union, artist and researcher Chris Biddlecombe, will be providing an overview of his key findings from the ‘Artist-Led Organisations in Scotland: Survey and Mapping of Activity' research report, which has been undertaken by Scottish Artist Union on behalf of Creative Scotland.  The event has been developed in conversation with Dr Marianne Greated, Academic Development Lead, School of Fine Art, Glasgow School of Art who has a longstanding interest in developing artist led collaborations and how this can be supported through the Glasgow School of Art curriculum.  About SaltSpace: SaltSpace is a creative cooperative based in Glasgow which aims to provide a supportive platform for new graduates and early year creatives as a stepping-stone into their artistic career. Currently we offer studio spaces across two premises in Glasgow city in Dornoch Street and the Axiom Building and a gallery/community space in the Axiom Building on 54 Washington Street.  About Vanilla Ink: Vanilla Ink is a Community Interest Company with creative jewellery workshops in Glasgow and Banff.
