Cost Transformation

True cost transformation is about simplifying, refocusing and strengthening your organization so you can pursue growth and provide a better customer experience. Our approach is both holistic and customizable, enabling you to cultivate, reward and continually improve a sustainable cost management culture. We believe a new and strategic approach is required to fully transform costs that addresses:

• Strategic cost transformation opportunities: driving key strategic decisions around client segments, products, geographies and distribution channels.
• Structural cost transformation opportunities: transforming the operating model to reduce costs and add flexibility and scalability to the cost base. This is achieved through effective workforce planning, outsourcing of services and partners in new ways, standardization of products and services and large-scale or agile data and technology change, as well as other levers.
• Tactical cost transformation opportunities: optimizing the existing operating model to improve efficiency.
• Get the house in order – Focus on immediate actions to reduce costs, bring stability, and capture savings to avoid deterioration of the business.
• Sustain the business – Take actions that help improve cost and competitive position, avert cuts that might inhibit future growth, and rebalance costs to fund investments in business strategy enablers.
• Set the stage for growth – Develop a scalable cost platform for growth and invest in building capabilities to enable the business strategy while managing costs accordingly.

We identify and design tangible savings opportunities and sustainable, holistic performance improvement programs.

We deliver world-class transformation with modest client resources required, offering minimal disruption to (lean) organizations. We apply a tailored set of bottom line and top line performance improvement levers based on our client’s unique situation.

We address cost, cash flow, and top-line challenges by combining short-term actions with strategic reorientation and measures for sustained cost reduction.
