This PPT slide, part of the 97-slide Strategic Cost Reduction Training PowerPoint presentation, presents a structured approach to identifying cost reduction opportunities through a focus on underlying cost drivers. It categorizes these drivers into 4 key areas: Business Configuration, Organizational Design/Corporate Structure, Regulatory/Compliance Environment, and Employee-Related factors. Each category is paired with corresponding opportunity themes and sample hypotheses that provide actionable insights.
In the Business Configuration section, the emphasis is on analyzing products, customers, and geography to streamline operations. The hypothesis suggests that rationalizing the business footprint can lead to significant reductions in scale and complexity, which is crucial for enhancing operational efficiency.
The Organizational Design/Corporate Structure segment highlights the importance of governance models and centralization. It proposes that centralizing activities into a Shared Services Center can enhance efficiency and potentially reduce headcount through alternative delivery models. This approach could lead to improved spans of control and better resource allocation.
The Regulatory/Compliance Environment section focuses on risk-based strategies that align compliance costs with actual risks. It suggests developing formal programs to systematically lower compliance costs over time, which can be essential for maintaining regulatory standards while managing expenses effectively.
Lastly, the Employee-Related category addresses compensation structures and healthcare options. It indicates that recalibrating compensation and restructuring benefits can help manage overall compensation spend and mitigate future cost escalations. This holistic view of cost drivers allows organizations to strategically assess and implement cost reduction initiatives that are tailored to their specific circumstances.
