WAGING WAR ON COMPLEXITY COSTS

Reshape Your Cost Structure, Free Up Cash Flows and Boost Productivity by Attacking Process, Product and Organizational Complexity

by Stephen A. Wilson and Andrei Perumal
McGraw-Hill
November, 2009

Cost cutting is a top priority for most of today's Fortune 500 companies, but indiscriminate budget slashing could have long term negative effects, warn two industry insiders. In a new book, corporate consultants Stephen A. Wilson and Andrei Perumal explore the complexity costs that exist in every company, how to identify and reduce them, and leverage the opportunity that the cost cutting reveals. WAGING WAR ON COMPLEXITY COSTS is based on Wilson and Perumal's discovery that complexity costs were the single biggest determinant of their Fortune 1000 clients' cost effectiveness. In short, the last two decades' explosive growth created massive complexities in companies and along with them, massive complexity costs. Using real life examples from companies like Procter & Gamble, Kraft and Motorola, the book outlines the six principles behind the costs and a four-part plan for attacking them.

One recent study shows that only 10% of companies that attempt cost cutting are able to maintain them through year three, so the need is urgent and the problem very real.

"It is our assertion," write Wilson and Perumal, "that the best path to restructuring your costs is by attacking product, process and organizational complexity." The authors provide a proven primer to attacking this problem - one that grows larger as the economy weakens.

Stephen A. Wilson is managing director of Wilson Perumal & Company, Inc. He is coauthor of Conquering Complexity in Your Business and a contributing author for Fast Innovation, both published by McGraw-Hill. Andrei Perumal is managing director of Wilson Perumal & Company, Inc. He helps business leaders solve challenging problems with a focus on integrating strategy, operations, and organization.
