"Hidden Costs, Hidden Opportunities: Unlocking Smarter Savings for Growth"
Chris Foster
ERA Group
As business costs rise, many companies struggle to maintain profitability while navigating economic uncertainty. Research shows that 70% of cost-saving initiatives fail, often due to poor strategy, lack of ownership, or a short-term focus on headcount reductions. In this session, we’ll explore why even well-intentioned cost-cutting efforts fall short - and how leveraging expert insights can uncover smarter savings that fuel long-term growth. Through real-world examples, we’ll highlight how businesses have transformed their cost management strategies, turning hidden costs into reinvestment opportunities. Get ready for a thought-provoking discussion that may change how you view your business expenses.
