High credit trust enables creative risk

Tuesday, February 16th, 2010

When partners have reached full partnership, remarkable things start to happen. Full partnerships between organizations are the equivalent of Olympic gold.Many try, few succeed. But those who do succeed know the work involved and the skill it takes to be the best. While the road is tricky and fraught with peril, the rewards can be rich, as we see below.

High trust enables creative risk. Only when we trust each other can we risk the quantum leap into the next generation of activity. Regardless of service or products, to move beyond the status quo takes a special talent—and that talent is best tapped into through partnerships. Some of the best breakthough examples come from the American effort to conquer space. The partnerships developed between NASA and private industry are too numerous to list— but they have yielded a lot more than the beverage Tang. From microwave ovens to insulated clothing, our lives have changed dramatically thanks to these partnerships. The creative risk taking was there. And those who formed partnerships with NASA stood to benefit like no other.

Consumer staples is a noncyclical sector and hence the profit peak relative to the market is reached towards the end of a recession. Profits are not robust but consumers cut spending on large discretionary purchases while the demand, for example, for food and beverages remains relatively stable across the whole economic cycle.

Group sectors according to their change in profits during recession and recovery. The profits of cyclical sectors will fall in recessions and rise during a recovery. On the other side, the profit cycle of defensive companies is countercyclical. Profits will rise in recessions and they will tend to fall in recoveries. Some industries experience structural gains which means that their profits rise during recession and recovery. Other industries suffer from structural losses which means that they realize falling profits in recession and in recovery as well. Those are industries which reached a declining stage in their industry life cycles.
