In this economic environment, businesses have to find ways to work in synergy to realize company growth and pull Barbados out of the current economic situation.

Q: If you had to manage Barbados for a day, what would you do?
I would establish an annual inter-denominational national day of prayer and encourage Barbadians to seek God’s guidance and wisdom daily in light of the times which we are currently facing.
