The Cost Management Center Podcast
The Cost Management Center Podcast is dedicated to helping its listeners manage organizational costs to make their companies perform better, innovate more, and… of course… become more profitable.
In this podcast, we explore a wide range of methodologies and advice to reduce the company bloat and waste that creep into all organizations and stifles growth. Our focus ranges from broad strategic concepts, to specific industries, and even down to targeted spend and vendor categories. The common thread is that all topics center around reducing costs.
The podcast is hosted by Duane Deason, author of Operationally Svelte: Manage Costs to Increase Profit and Enhance Performance. Duane has dedicated his career to helping companies reduce waste and inefficiency as a catalyst for reaching their full potential.
