Gain insight into what it takes to identify potential cost savings opportunities for your company.
Zero-Based Budgeting has catapulted into the spotlight as a radical way of re-engineering the General Ledger and as a formidable tool in the battle against bloat for established businesses. But, realistically, how do you implement it? Is it a viable option for all industries? What are the pitfalls you should guard against, and how do you optimize it for your business? In this practical topic, you will learn the broad applicability of Zero-Based Budgeting, not just as an austerity measure, but as an enabler of innovation. You will learn real-life examples from its usage within a fast-growing global technology company with aspirations of becoming the leader in end-to-end Omni channel solutions and software.
