Cost is a key consideration for all businesses. During difficult times, such as the global health crisis and the accompanying economic crisis, controlling cost becomes more urgent and one of the key factors for organisations' long-term success. However, organisations need to think carefully and choose effective means that achieve desired results with minimal disruption to operations.
This white paper series consists of two volumes. It targets decision makers in the private and public sector to draw attention to available modern options for cost optimisation. The series departs from traditional methods of reducing costs and aims to present a different direction and highlight the role of innovation and the use of technology in optimising costs while immunising private and public organisations from the consequences of crises and global market shocks.
In this second volume, we zoom in on the remaining three trends that together incorporate the use of emerging technologies and innovative modern solutions to not only optimise cost but also provide other benefits, such as time saving, risk mitigation, efficiency improvement, and employee and customer satisfaction.
