There is no doubt cost and purchase management made it to the top of the agenda in most boardrooms during the economic downturn. As focus gradually starts to switch back to growth, it’s important to maintain focus on making savings and identify areas for ongoing reductions in the future.
In light of this, Expense Reduction Analysts has published ‘Board Report’, a practical guide to best practice in cost and purchase management which has been carried in Financial Director Magazine. It includes case studies of private and public sector organisations that have successfully implemented cost management strategies, words of wisdom from board directors and a look forward to the issues facing business in 2010.
