The Fractional CFO Show with Adam Cooper Cost Optimisation for Sustainable Growth
This week, I sat down with @Alistair Roman, Founder and Managing Partner of @Cost Optimisation Consultancy, to explore cost optimisation for small businesses and discuss how you can reduce costs in your business sustainably.
We discuss the model that Alistair has developed - the cost transformation maturity map - why most businesses fail to retain cost savings, and explore how SMEs can build cost efficiency into their company culture.
🌟 Some of my favourite parts from our conversation:
✅ How Alistair helped John Lewis drive major cost efficiencies - and what smaller businesses can learn from it.
✅ Understanding the difference between cost optimisation and cost savings and why one is more sustainable.
✅Why Finance Teams must be front and centre leading cost optimisation efforts, regardless of their size.
✅ How cost optimisation fuels growth rather than just being a defensive strategy.
✅ How SMEs can leverage technology to streamline finance and operations.
