    Cost optimization isn’t cost-cutting

    The Gartner Cost Optimization Decision Framework helps you prioritize cost optimization opportunities by value, not just the potential to reduce spending.

    Use this framework to:

    • Create a prioritized list of your most promising cost optimization opportunities
    • Assess the level of impact of your cost plans across key decision factors/criteria
    • Evaluate the trade-offs between the benefits, costs, risks, and viability of different cost control initiatives
    • Map cost reductions on a simple grid to show the trade-offs and help build buy-in for your cost reduction strategy.

    Complete the form to access the Cost Optimization Decision Frameworks for finance, HR, IT, marketing, public sector IT, sales, service and support, and supply chain.

    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.
