How should businesses respond when cost increases outpace revenue growth?
Many factors have tested the strength and agility of business leadership over the last few years. There have been highs, lows, and small rebounds and wins that have kept optimism within reach. But when cost increases start outpacing revenue growth, it’s those with strategic business growth plans that will prevail.

Our study shows, across industries, businesses with a strategic plan to defend against margin erosion, rather than reactive cost cutting, fared better and are cautiously optimistic for the future.
There is no one-size-fits-all, silver bullet strategy. Business leadership that has a clear understanding of their position in the market and a strategy that protects and responds to volatility has the best chance to not only survive but thrive.
