COST, CAPITAL & INVESTMENT PRODUCTIVITY

Productivity of cost, capital and investment is more central than ever to achieving profitability; it is also vital to releasing the resources – including people, marketing spend, manufacturing capacity and capital – for investment in growth. But in many companies, powerful organizational behaviours, such as the desire for more resources and spending regardless of their impact on long-term value, undermine the productivity required to compete effectively. As a result, our research shows substantial variations in productivity across companies in many industries, with those that struggle to achieve winning productivity struggling to invest adequately in growth.

We help companies achieve new levels of profitability, find new sources of "fuel for growth" and overcome institutional barriers to higher levels of productivity. The benefits of our approach include :

	Deeper line of sight into the productivity of a company’s cost, capital and investment
	Accelerated bottom-line performance through cost and capital reductions that do not undermine growth
	Better "bang for the buck" by optimizing the level and allocation of growth investment
	More resources to invest in growth without undermining near-term performance
	Lower cost of capital through a more productive capital structure
	A productivity discipline that relentlessly seeks the lowest-cost way of delivering the most value to customers
