This PPT slide, part of the 30-slide Fit for Growth PowerPoint presentation, outlines various cost management tools that organizations can leverage to enhance their operational efficiency while strategically allocating resources. It emphasizes the concept of being "Fit for Growth," suggesting that businesses must not only cut costs, but also ensure that spending aligns with growth objectives.
The content is structured into 3 main categories, each addressing different aspects of cost management. The first category, "What do we do?", focuses on the product and service portfolio and capabilities system. Here, organizations are encouraged to articulate their strategic value proposition, set growth priorities, and rationalize their product offerings. This approach aims to ensure that the core capabilities are aligned with market demands.
The second category, "Where do we do it?", emphasizes the importance of footprint strategy and shared services. It suggests that companies should reconsider their organizational structure and redesign their supply chains to enhance efficiency. Rationalizing facilities and consolidating routine tasks in lower-cost locations are also highlighted as key strategies.
The final category, "How (and how well) do we do it?", delves into operational processes. It advocates for process improvement, automation, and the harmonization of IT infrastructure. By prioritizing functional activities and instilling collaborative practices, organizations can streamline operations and reduce unnecessary expenditures.
The pyramid structure depicted in the slide illustrates that as one moves up the hierarchy, the number of people involved decreases, indicating a more focused approach to cost management. This visual representation reinforces the idea that effective cost management requires a strategic alignment of resources and capabilities across the organization. Overall, the slide serves as a comprehensive guide for executives looking to optimize their cost structures while supporting growth initiatives.
This slide is part of the Fit for Growth PowerPoint presentation.
