So apparently we've walked through the Foyer of Financial Fiasco and plunked ourselves down right in the centre of the Living Room of Economic Doom (settling into the Sofa of Slowdown, with our feet on a comfy bear market rug).

What's it like at your end? Are a lot of your budgets and projects that seemed like slam-dunks a few months ago suddenly coming under scrutiny? Or are you finding there's still room to experiment and innovate, even - or, with some particularly visionary organizations, especially - in a recession?
