DOCUMENT DESCRIPTION

Cost Optimization Programs are often hard to manage, sustain, and tend to fail to deliver the promised value. This failure is attributed to many reasons--including lack of clearly delineated objectives, not taking into account the operational difficulties, internal resistance to change, trying to cut corners from everywhere rather than planning optimal utilization of resources; lack of direction, accountability, and management agreement.

Disruption offers new opportunities for innovation, eliminating complexities, transforming the strategy and cost disciplines, and streamlining operational capabilities.

This presentation talks about a 5-phased approach that helps businesses focus on optimizing costs to sustain competitive relevance and exploit their full potential. The phases include:

1. Start with the Corporate Strategy
2. Align Costs with Strategy
3. Be Transformational and Aspirational
4. Demonstrate Leadership Support
5. Create a Culture of Cost Management

The slide deck also includes some slide templates for you to use in your own business presentations.

CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS

"One of the great discoveries that I have made for my business is the Flevy library of training materials.

As a Lean Transformation Expert, I am always making presentations to clients on a variety of topics: Training, Transformation, Total Productive Maintenance, Culture, Coaching, Tools, Leadership Behavior, etc. Flevy usually has just what I need to make my point.

It is well worth the money to purchase these presentations. Sure, I have the knowledge and information to make my point. It is another thing to create a presentation that captures what I want to say. Flevy has saved me countless hours of preparation time that is much better spent with implementation that will actually save money for my clients."

– Ed Kemmerling, Senior Lean Transformation Expert at PMG

"My FlevyPro subscription provides me with the most popular frameworks and decks in demand in today’s market. They not only augment my existing consulting and coaching offerings and delivery, but also keep me abreast of the latest trends, inspire new products and service offerings for my practice, and educate me in a fraction of the time and money of other solutions. I strongly recommend FlevyPro to any consultant serious about success."

"As a small business owner, the resource material available from FlevyPro has proven to be invaluable. The ability to search for material on demand based our project events and client requirements was great for me and proved very beneficial to my clients. Importantly, being able to easily edit and tailor the material for specific purposes helped us to make presentations, knowledge sharing, and toolkit development, which formed part of the overall program collateral. While FlevyPro contains resource material that any consultancy, project or delivery firm must have, it is an essential part of a small firm or independent consultant's toolbox."
