How to save money by managing overheads and operational costs effectively
In this current economic climate, it is fair to say that most businesses and organisations are continuously reviewing their overheads and operational costs to see where possible savings can be made.
Identifying hidden profit by reviewing spend on areas such as electricity, gas, telecoms, insurance, staff, finance, vehicles, and green services can usually save businesses hundreds, if not thousands of pounds! However, this process needs to be managed and controlled properly if businesses are to take full advantage of this additional revenue.
As Director of cost reduction consultants BCR Associates, Kim Harris will explain how easy it is for businesses to save money, if they take a few simple steps and allow their existing procedures to be reviewed. The process to help identify savings within a business does not need to be time consuming or laborious. Internal departments need to communicate with one another more openly, take a flexible approach and act on the information when it is highlighted that savings can be made. Kim will run through the process and explain how easy savings can be identified.
