You Cannot Cut Your Way To Growth

At a Glance: Key Themes from the Full Insight

When organisations come under pressure, cost cutting often feels like decisive leadership. But many businesses reduce the very capabilities that keep operations stable and customers confident.

This Insight explores what actually gets lost when decisions focus on removing cost without understanding how work really gets done. It looks at the hidden effort, experience, and judgement that never appear on dashboards — yet determine whether organisations cope under strain or fracture under load.

Rather than arguing against efficiency, the article challenges a common assumption: that resilience can be cut without consequence. It shows why organisations that protect and redeploy capability recover faster than those that simply reduce headcount.

If your organisation is facing tough decisions, this article will help you think more clearly about resilience before irreversible choices are made.
