A Panel Discussion

As spending ticks up as we move toward a postpandemic era, cost-cutting might not be the top executive priority anymore, but strategic cost optimization remains critical.

The Gartner 2020 Business Cost Optimization Through a Crisis Survey found that effective cost managers were 40% more likely to see positive business performance during the pandemic.

The urgent question now is, how do you strategically invest your resources to achieve desired business outcomes? Efficiency gains made through strategic cost optimization can be easily reinvested into the digital business acceleration strategy.

Treating cost management as a reactive play when costs need to be cut means executives are playing with one less ace in hand.

In this webinar, a panel of Gartner experts:

1. Samantha Ellison (LinkedIn profile) Gartner Sr Principal, Advisory
   • Samantha looks further into insights from the  webinar, “Leading Through COVID-19: Finance Leaders’ Guide to Manage Costs in 2020.” (1 pdu)
2. Matthias Graf, (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner Sr Director Analyst
3. Srinath Sampathon (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner Sr Director Analyst

break down some building blocks of effective cost management – standard frameworks, clear measures of success and cross-functional collaboration — to help you craft a winning strategy that can maximize spending and invest in your future.

Discussion Topics:

• How cost management priorities shifted through the current crisis
• What separated effective cost managers from others during the pandemic
• How functional executives collaborate on strategic cost optimization
