If your firm is not interested in increasing operational efficiencies in your back office, driving value from your vendor relationships, and having a comprehensive understanding of the impact of cost recovery strategies on the bottom line, then your firm may not need strategic expense management.
However, if it is the opposite, and your firm strives to stay ahead of the curve by continuous drive toward operational excellence, we invite you to Rob Mattern’s recent publications and ALA sponsored podcast on strategic expense management.
Firms understand that the world has changed and that re-examining cost, and cost structure are of critical importance. But how many firms have responded successfully to changes in the financial markets and the new economic demands of their clients; how many have stayed their usual course, and struggling to manage costs, improve services to their end users, and recapture lost cost recovery revenue.
