Spend management is a crucial element in all stages of the deal cycle and using a holistic approach to manage spend is quicker and more effective at achieving cost targets.  We conduct 360° reviews of all non-payroll spend and then work to rapidly address cost and increase value through our tried and tested two-prong approach of demand and supply levers. Our framework for managing, optimising, and re-engineering costs is focused on key cost angles, including product, demand, supply and organisation.
