From tactical optimization to major transformations, Teneo’s Performance Optimization practice works with organizations to restructure their cost bases and access meaningful savings.
A cost optimization program can have a range of triggers, from rapid growth and M&A expansion, to material market pressures. It can also be part of an organization's business-as-usual approach to maintaining its operations. Regardless of the cause, Teneo can provide an objective third-party perspective and the analytical rigor required to achieve the desired outcomes.
At Teneo, our unique breadth of cross-functional capabilities allows us to play a valuable role at any stage of a cost transformation, including developing the initial targets, identifying the opportunities and providing change management and implementation support.
