Cost Cutting VS Operational Scalability

Updated: May 28


Cost Mgmt. Profit improvement.  It's not just about layoffs, T&E limits, and hiring freezes. Yes...



...you can cut costs.



🔴 But you can only cut cost so far. 🔴



Alternately (or in addition)...



...you can improve scalability. 



(in other words) 



Invest in ways to do more with the same resources:



1. Automation 


 (of low-complexity tasks)


 


2. Process Engineering 


 (on high-complexity procedures)


 


3. Training & Skill Development


 (optimizing where there's more art than science)


 


4. Systematic Monitoring & Alerting 


 (minimizes time spent fire-fighting instead vs growth)
