Not Arnold! Cost and profit optimization is numero uno! 💪 Manufacturing industries are stating that structural cost and profit optimization is at the very top of their agenda. 📊 Flexibility in a global world, standardized digitization roadmaps, and a clear transformation plan are key factors. 🌍 I'd like to add that a profitable company is defined by the value it creates for its customers. A product focused on perceived customer value will always be profitable and cost-efficient. 💎 If you want to learn how to make your products valued by customers while remaining profitable, drop my colleague Thomas Schaich or me a message! 📩

In their board meetings, top companies invest more time in growth topics (60%) than in cost topics (40%). In doing so, they are setting the course for sustainable transformation and creating space to answer strategic questions about the future. These and other findings are the subject of our 5th annual #CxOPriorities Study. Heiko Fink, study team leader and Partner at #Horváth, explains why the focus on cost optimization is less future-oriented and which questions put a company on the right track.

Executives no longer think about deals and business transformation in isolation, or as sequential events. Leading companies are planning multi-year journeys that help them thrive with a series of carefully orchestrated initiatives. In this webcast Mohamed Kante discussed with executives from Celanese and Emerson about their approach around transformative Deals.

Three Success factors 🚀 of cost & profit optimization in the manufacturing industry   In our latest CxO Priorities Study we found out that 2/3 of the management boards in the manufacturing industry put structural cost and profit optimization on the top of their agenda. 💡 At the same time growth is taking place abroad and companies are building transnational structures for a deglobalizing world. Concluding from this we have identified three success factors to thrive in a dynamic international business environment.   Let us dive deeper into the topic in my video.

Jose Pires, the CEO of Global Excellence & Innovation and former Senior Executive of Andeavor, Black & Veatch, and Nestlé, talks to Petya Rasheva about the #PathToPower. Jose presides over global Excellence, Innovation & Transformation Awards, with 1,000 submissions annually, where only 10% of the entries are selected to run. These are the best of the best, globally. What happens over time with the winners? In 3 years, about 50% of their innovation programs die. In 5 years, 95% disappear. In a decade, 99% become irrelevant. Only 1% of the best of the best remains consistent over time. Only 1% of the winners manage to build a culture behind their innovation and excellence programs. It is incredibly difficult to do so. How do they do it? Let's find out from Jose himself. This fascinating talk was split into two parts. This is Part 1. Petya was referred to Jose by John Saunders, CIMA®. Thank you, John! This is interview No. 16 on Path to Power. The series was conceived as a tool for first-hand learning from prominent business leaders. Disclaimer: The interview was recorded as a follow-up of a study project for the Building Power to Lead course of Prof. Jeffrey Pfeffer at Stanford LEAD, in which the interviewer was enrolled as a participant.
