Advice to Senior Management

Stop trying to take the company in 17 directions at once. Be either a research house, a consulting company, an event company, or a training company. Instead of trying to do all of these things at once, become really good at one of them.

Don't focus on short term sales. Focus on the quality of analysis, and try to differentiate the company by developing a set of core competencies.

Invest in professional tools (CRM, Order Entry, conferencing services etc)

Empower your middle managers to make decissions.

And most importantly, try to retain the people that are valuable to the company.
