Holistic Profitability Programs are a Game Changer!

Food4Thoughts

Sustainable cost reduction continues to dominate executives’ agendas. Our research into how effectively companies are managing costs reveals significant variation across sectors – with great potential for improvement among those at the lower end of the scale.

Cutting costs is at the top of the agenda across most sectors, still, many firms just don’t know how to do it right

Taking costs out of a business is hardly a new phenomenon. It is reasonable, however, to say that cost reduction is often a reaction to a specific market or managerial need, rather than a planned intervention. This is borne from relatively low maturity in optimizing cost and investment in many sectors, despite years of cost cutting. Consequently, sustainable cost reduction continues to dominate executive agendas.

Managing costs is more important than ever

The biggest challenge for companies is establishing structured and skilled approaches

Companies are struggling to establish structured approaches and carry out profitability programs. Surprisingly, lack of subject matter expertise is one of the main impediments. Lack of standards and the absence of clear targets – including rigid progress tracking to achieve them – compound these shortcomings, consequently leading to poor morale and lack of individual employees motivation.

If cost cutting dominates most companies’ agenda why are so many struggling to deliver performances and at the end savings?
