Smart Cost-Cutting: How to Emerge From Budget Pressure Stronger and More Secure

How do you respond to corporate pressure to reduce headcount when previous reductions in force have already left your team lean and effective? For HP, the answer was found by measuring the "market value" of every resource.

Our featured speaker is a former Hewlett-Packard executive who recounts the efforts within his group to respond to corporate pressure to reduce headcount. His group found that by looking carefully at the value generated – not just headcount or activities – they were able to agree not only on where to cut headcount and why, but also on where to add headcount so as to generate the maximum value for the enterprise.

Speakers

Scott Ellis spent 8 years at Hewlett-Packard and is now COO of an educational nonprofit organization. David Matheson is president and CEO of SmartOrg Inc. Carl Spetzler will moderate the discussion and Q&A.
