BCG has developed a comprehensive approach to help companies identify and quantify opportunities to reduce nonpersonnel costs, select targets and improvement measures, and sustain their gains. According to BCG’s Jacopo Piccolo Brunelli: “Nearly a decade after its release, ‘Uncovering Cost Drivers to Achieve Sustained Improvements’ remains an essential resource for reducing nonpersonnel SG&A costs – an opportunity for cost improvement that remains untapped by many companies. Our recent research shows that sustainable cost management is a top priority for CEOs. Streamlining SG&A can be a quick route to sustainably reduce costs. Measures typically require minimal investment and are relatively easy to implement – and can be more readily accepted within organizations as they avoid cuts to core business activities. The workforce can remain intact while the business reaps cost savings, making strategic cuts to streamline operations without stalling the momentum of business growth.” Learn more about BCG’s four principles for cost excellence: https://on.bcg.com/4eLCNfy

There was a similar movement in vendor management called Tier2 spend where you controlled your CSR spend and influenced the CSR spend of your tier1 and tier2 suppliers
