WHERE ARE THE MISSING BULLET HOLES IN YOUR BUSINESS? -IT’S WHAT YOU DON’T SEE THAT MATTERS
THIS MONTH I tell a story about World War II and how it relates to your business. Clue: It has to do with the holes you don’t have.

As always I have a bank of statistics for you to have a look at. Are the Australians arriving yet? How many business closures have there been this month? Have kiwis opened their wallets to spend on credit cards?
It’s all there in this month’s Strategic Newsletter from Stellaris.

And then, of course, we have the stable of statistics updated for this week’s GDP numbers.
