Strategic cost optimization delivers on costs and growth simultaneously

Gartner research shows that leading companies take a proactive and strategic approach to cost optimization — strategically cutting cost while funding new growth at the bottom of the business cycle. This approach better equips them to sustain through headwinds and unknowns — and pull ahead amid and beyond the uncertainty and disruption of crises like the COVID-19 pandemic or the 2008 global recession.

What does it take? A strategic and programmatic approach to cost-optimization — in which you reallocate resources to deliver sustained cost savings and support revenue growth. But you must benchmark your starting point, and evaluate both the risks and benefits of your cost initiatives.

Gartner is a trusted advisor and an objective resource for more than 14,000 enterprises in 100+ countries.
