[ The premise ]

Most cost-reduction work creates activity. The real test is whether spend comes out of the business.

[ The cross-cut ] A different lens

The six offers are how the work is delivered. The three pillars are how the dollars come back.

Every sub-offering maps to one of three ROI pillars — spend reduction, cost-to-serve, or tools cost and complexity. The harvey-ball matrix shows which pillar each one actually moves, and where it is only adjacent.

03 Tool sprawl and duplicated systems
04 Procurement activity that does not change business behavior
05 Savings claims that never become budget movement
