OVERVIEW
CIO
Economic
Cycle
Pictorial
If
you
wish
to
learn
more
about
innovaDve
&
pracDcal
ways
to
This
is
a
nice
li+le
pictorial
that
plots
out
the
standard
economic
cycle
(Bull
Market/Bear
Market)
in
a
way
that
has
been
received
well.
The
idea
here
is
to
use
this
diagram
to
plot
out
readily

us:
accepted
pa+erns
in
the
typical
business
cycle
in
order
to
illustrate
when
it
is
best
to
invest
in
certain
types
of
projects.
It
should
be
noted
that
the
diagram
Is
not
to
scale
in
that
the
Bull
PSC
Group,
LLC
market
appears
to
be
as
long
as
the
Bear
market
–
which
is
not
typical.
What
is
to
be
learned
from
this
picture
is
that
the
Dme
spent
while
the
business
is
not
behaving
in
a
Risk
Averse
Jim
Vaselopulos
mentality
is
ALWAYS
spent
during
a
Dme
of
high
(or
FAST)
business
acDvity.
It
is
also
important
to
note
that
the
IT
projects
that
are
listed
reflect
DEMAND
pa+erns
–
NOT
when
they
should
be
jimv@psclistens.com
undertaken.
Unfortunately,
Dming
is
generally
poor
because
many
of
the
projects
requested
during
the
FAST
period
require
business
involvement
at
a
Dme
when
they
have
the
least
amount
847.517.7200
of
available
resources.
It
is
hoped
that
this
diagram
will
help
foster
be+er
discussions
with
the
business
regarding
investment
consideraDons
at
a
Dme
when
they
will
yield
meaningful
change.
