Hi, Most IT cost exercises start with good intentions and end up drowning in data. You pull every invoice, every contract, every forecast line… and suddenly you’re three weeks deep trying to make sense of hundreds of small items that will never move the needle.

Hi, Most IT Heads I speak with have already done serious work on their costs. They’ve pulled the main data sources, challenged vendors, and pushed for better visibility. And yet the surprises still appear. A number moves. A vendor invoice lands higher than expected. A spillover hits the wrong cost centre.

Hi, Last year we helped an IT Head fully optimize their scope until they hit the budget cut target Finance had given them. However, the forecast for the following year was still under pressure.

IT people are measured on stability and performance. When cost pressure arrives, their default move is defense. Because they’ve seen “savings” create real service pain before. Here’s the exact sequence that flips it. Step 1: Start with their objective. Open with their reality, not your target: “Your job is to keep this serv
