Costs are rising across all industries, with materials up 18% year over year and most large companies (67%) seeing lower profits. Bad cost cuts hurt business now and later, while inflation, market shocks, and digital disruption make it harder to stay profitable. Only 48% of planned savings are achieved, mainly because of poor data, unclear roles, and resistance to change. This makes smart, lasting cost reduction urgent for survival and growth.
