Course programme
As organisations in both the private and the public sectors face the most challenging economic downturn for over fifty years, the pressure to reduce overhead costs increases. While it is always possible to achieve a quick fix, the dilemma for responsible managers is how to reduce overheads in a sustainable way, without a detrimental effect on the development of the business or its service delivery objectives. The more sustainable the cost reduction, the greater the opportunities of growth as the economy recovers.
This intensive one-day seminar has been designed specifically to help you resolve that dilemma. It covers a range of approaches that deliver considerable savings plus a permanent culture change in the approach to the management of overhead costs.
It will help you:
• Avoid the dangers of simplistic cost cutting
• Rebalance resources without having to turn the organisation upside-down in the process
• Initiate a successful overhead review
• Implement the necessary changes quickly and efficiently
• Make effective overhead cost management part of normal business
