You've been ordered to reduce overhead by 10%, 20%, or even (wince) 30%. How do you do it? First, don't expect to reach your target with a single big idea; you'll need a combination of 10 or more separate actions. Second, match the kinds of opportunities you examine and implement to the degree of cost-reduction required. To cut 10%, use an incremental approach-for instance, reduce spending on department management, hold down pay increases, and repropose previously rejected cost-saving ideas. To get to 20%, think in terms of redesign or reorganization. Strive to eliminate any work for which the cost exceeds the value. This will involve changes in process, mind-set, and how departments serve one another. Finally, to reach 30%, you'll need to broaden your perspective even more. For example, try coordinating parallel activities in the organization, doing away with low-value meetings and forums, and eliminating entire programs.
