Build a Cost-Conscious Culture in Your Organisation
This episode is also available as a blog post: globalscgroup.com/build-a-cost-conscious-culture-in-your-organisation/
Building Cost-Conscious Culture management in your organization is the most important tip I’ll deliver in this series of posts. If you can create a cost-conscious culture in your organization then you’re pretty much done and dusted. Nothing else you do will cut costs more.
Recently, I spent the better part of a year looking at cost savings opportunities in 120 companies across four continents. I found that the most efficient companies had one thing in common: Their staff – from the CEO down to the receptionist – were incredibly cost-conscious. Companies with staff who continuously questioned whether they were achieving their goals in the least expensive way were consistently more efficient than their more profligate competitors; regardless of the systems and processes, they had in place.
