What about using your profitability to add another product to your product line? While many executives and product owners are hesitant to dive into R&D during a recession, let alone a pandemic, studies have actually shown that investing in innovation during such a time can propel a business and its profits forward and bulldoze through such harsh occasions, leaving founders and CEOs with a greater advantage over their competitors afterward.

“A mid-crisis answer to what’s next on the innovation agenda is crucial for delivering outsized performance. During the first five years after the Great Recession of 2008, CPG leaders that could answer this question outperformed the market by an average of 20 percent.”
