Helping to balance cost reduction and growth improvement
Market disruptions, competitive dynamics, and economic challenges are creating tremendous uncertainty for executives. Leaders cannot control or avoid the disruptions, but they can adapt and react to change by continually improving performance. In fact, companies that build this muscle outperform those that fail to address performance improvement opportunities.
While there is no single method for driving continuous performance improvement (CPI) amid disruption, leaders should apply a wide lens and a balanced approach. What’s likely to optimize results isn’t a sole focus on costs or growth—it’s balancing both goals.
