- Renegotiate existing agreements – are you using agreements to its full effect, if you are not using them or they no longer serve a purpose terminate them.
- Monitor cost, use an invoice checking company to look for errors where money can be re-claimed
- Is the specification over engineered, do you need a rolls royce compared to a mini, are things sufficiently clear to avoid scope creep
- Stop maverick spending, if the intention is to consolidate then push back on new contract request or stamp out expenses
- Reduce wasted time, if a process can be streamlined then do it
- Use technology to organise data, spend your time wisely
- Sometimes something doesn’t have to be perfect, cut through the crap and get on with value adding activities
