Cost Cutting in Bad Economic Times: Do You have a Methodology?

by David McCoy  |  January 26, 2009  |  Submit a Comment

How are you doing your cost cutting?  Are you using a methodology? Does the idea of a methodology sound outlandish?  Are you cutting like a surgeon or are you cutting wherever you see something – anything – that looks extraneous?  A methodology would make a difference, wouldn’t it?

I have one of our research teams looking into what methodologies are out there – those targeted specifically to cost cutting.  If you have input, fire away.  Based on some first blush insight, we may have to relax the definition of “methodology” a bit here.  Even if your methodology simply consists of a checklist and/or a set of best practices, that’s still of interest to me.

Thank you for your consideration.
