Cost-cutting measures in an emergency, such as the current COVID-19 pandemic, are likely to be prevalent and understandable, but frequent cost cutting is not sustainable.

That is why the long-term discipline of cost optimization is so important, as it reduces or even eliminates the need for tactical cost cutting.

When done properly, there may even be growth opportunities to be found during times of adversity.

In this webinar Joseph Provenza (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner Senior Director Analyst  explores cost cutting, cost optimization and seizing opportunities.

Discussion Topics:

• Cost cutting when you have to
• Cost optimization because you should
• Seizing opportunities because you can
