Course details

Cost cutting, cost reduction, consolidation or cost management have become central planning topics in all competitive markets. Most companies talk about cost reduction, but fail to maximize the true potential which exists. Day one of this beneficial course focuses on the characteristics of those approaches which lead to the greatest success in targeting cost reduction. An established company in a maturing market is likely to see the best return from investments in cost cutting - but this has to be balanced with investments that will grow the top line. The program includes sessions on establishing a cost reduction culture and developing a cost reduction strategy.
