Sustaining the Change

In recent months, many organisations have shifted their focus to actively reduce costs to remain competitive or even just stay afloat. In response to the Covid 19 crisis or competitive pressure, we are seeing organisations cut budgets and reduce head count. However, often the impact of these short- term cost reduction decisions reverses over time, creating an even larger cost base as the underlying activities of the organisation have not changed along with the decision to reduce costs.
