Shed Revenue-Draining Complexity Costs by Thirty Percent!        “This is an ambitious book packed with insight and fresh thinking. Separating good from bad    complexity costs is a critical task facing companies today, and the authors provide a compelling    roadmap for solving the problem.”    Michael B. McCallister, President and CEO, Humana Inc.        “Waging War on Complexity Costs examines an incredibly important and often overlooked aspect    of business and organizations in general—regulators and government officials should read this    book and take notice. Complexity dramatically increases costs and risk of failure. It is like a    cancer that eats away at efficiency and profitability.”    Andy Beal, Chairman and CEO, Beal Bank        “This is by far the best and most useful explanation of how to address complexity in a business.    Waging War on Complexity Costs frames the issue in a way that companies can finally tackle the    problem—this book delivers.”    Ahmad R. Chatila, CEO, MEMC Electronic Materials Inc.        “This is the first book that really targets organizational complexity in a compelling way, making    this a must-read for any organization that is looking to distance itself from the competition. After    years of cost-cutting, many companies are realizing that they still don’t have a discernable cost    advantage. This book provides the platform to achieve just that, by attacking the complexity that    bogs them down.”    Tom DiDonato, EVP Human Resources, American Eagle Outfitters, Inc.        About the Book:        Complexity costs are the single biggest    determinant of your company’s cost    competitiveness. For the past two decades the    pursuit of growth has created massive complexity    in processes, product portfolios, and    organizations, adding costs that companies    can ill afford. The only good news is that your    competitors may be carrying as much complexity    as you are. Learn how to eliminate this    complexity, and you can create a tremendous    cost advantage over your competition.        In Waging War on Complexity Costs, Stephen    Wilson and Andrei Perumal deliver a powerful    and practical approach for reclaiming your    cost advantage. This executive-level resource    presents a wealth of insight and new research    to definitively answer key questions such as:        How can I quantify the cost of complexity    without getting lost in a sea of data?    Where are the biggest opportunities for    reducing product, process, and organizational    complexity, and how can I cut through the    interdependencies that trap these costs?    How can I see results quickly by taking    targeted actions against key levers?    How do I keep complexity costs at bay?        It is not enough to attack bloated product portfolios.    Substantive cost improvements require    addressing the complexity in the underlying    processes and organizational structures. Waging    War on Complexity Costs provides a wealth of    relevant case studies with examples from Kraft,    Tesco, Fiat, and the U.S. Navy and highlights    specific strategies for reducing costs by 15-30%    in significant portions of your business.        Tomorrow’s consumers are emerging as wellinformed    customers who know what they    want and the price they’re willing to pay    for it. Complexity not only drives costs; it    creates a barrier between you and the customer.    Declare a war on complexity costs and    prepare for profitable growth.
