Cost Cutting VS Operational Scalability

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)
