It is just two days before the end of the financial year. Is there a sense of celebration or a sense of panic in your workplace? I hope it is a celebratory moment and not a tense one.
All of us scurry to bring in final revenue before the clock ticks midnight on 30 June. But, shouldn’t we really spend the two days catching our breath and implementing solid plans for the new year? Shouldn’t we turn our focus on analysis of what went well and a focus on what we need to alter from July forward?
