    This week, we discuss the often shortsighted cost-cutting measures companies adopt to hit their targets and the flawed logic behind these strategies. What might appear to be an immediate saving usually leads to more significant issues down the line.

    Instead of superficial cuts, we will explain the catch-all strategy to fix all your operational and financial woes.
