Expert Consulting Services

Using our generative AI spend analytics capabilities, means we are able generate meaningful insights much quicker than traditional resource intensive approaches. Cost Reduction by its very nature involves an exercise which is short-term, reactionary with almost immediate impacts to your cost base. It's about eliminating, renegotiating, rationalising with the objective of taking costs out and having the flow through benefits within the trading quarter and beyond.   

Strategic Play = Protecting 

Unlike cost reduction, Cost Optimisation is a mid-to long term programmatic approach to driving improved business performance and involves for example outcomes like increased productivity, improved efficiencies, simplification, standardisation etc leading to overall P&L improvements. Central to this is having a generative AI spend analytics tool that has drill down capabilities beyond traditional levels to provide richer insights that both informs and shapes the decision making process. 

Strategic Play= Protecting & Improving Performance    

Centres around delivering superior business outcomes with sustainability at the heart of what is delivered. It requires for example, developing new muscle memory, embedding a consistent cost management framework where end to end thinking and partnerships are the building blocks for success. The extent of these interventions implies a marathon mindset where longer term outcomes are the central themes. Whilst quick wins will always be prioritised in support of short term performance, key to success though is staying the course.
