Manage costs and fuel growth with gen AI–powered productivity

Why cost and productivity reinvention matter

Traditional productivity efforts often focus on cost-cutting and efficiencies, but true productivity is about balancing input (effort) and output (value). Companies that leverage technology like generative AI can drive innovation, enhance quality, and adopt new ways of working, leading to significant productivity growth.

How cost and productivity is changing

Rather than performing a “one and done” cost-cutting exercise, companies can now build long-term capabilities that deliver ongoing productivity improvements and higher revenue and profitability.

What you can do

Elevate operational and strategic work that drives competitiveness: dynamically reallocate budget and workforce to align with your strategic priorities. Reset the cost base to focus on work that creates value.

Advances in technology and generative AI are enabling leaders to completely reimagine work in ways that were not possible in the past. Focus on what must be done, not what has always been done, and fundamentally shift the mix of work.

Reinvent your organization by cultivating your people. This isn’t about optimization, it’s about creating an environment where people have the ability, opportunity and motivation to succeed. Align capital to strategic priorities over the long-term.
