In Bloomberg, BCG’s Paul Goydan analyzes what is top of mind for executives this year. According to a recent BCG survey, business leaders’ top priority is cost management, which entails improving supply chains, simplifying product portfolios, and boosting workplace productivity. “Many businesses are now shifting their focus to structural cost transformation rather than short-term cuts to maintain profitability in a slower-growth environment,” Goydan notes, emphasizing the renewed focus on margins and overall profitability.
