Product Description
Most business books talk about strategy, growth, organization, financial engineering; precious few talk about cost management, the most controllable-and often rewarding-part of the business. Wileman, a seasoned cost-cutting consultant with major corporate experience shows how to intelligently manage costs. This is a book for managers at every level of the organization. It is relevant to private sector and public sector organizations, and provides success strategies for large and small business alike.

Riveting October 4, 2008
Andrew's book is incredibly relevant, given the current economic situation. His pertinent examples provide for a clear and concise learning experience. I liked that when discussing Individual Accountability he really drives home his point giving excellent comprehensible examples, cutting out all the babble. His eloquent style throughout keeps the reader intrigued, especially when discussing persistence to get what you want. Excellent read, worldly relevant and a great addition to any collection.
Indispensable Tips for Controlling Costs September 28, 2008
Andrew Wileman's well-written book comes along at a critical time: he offers an intelligent approach to cutting and managing costs that makes use of a stiletto rather than a tomahawk. He is about thoughtful innovation rather than draconian blows. Wileman's advice to managers is anchored in the real world, his useful points made with humor, passion, and common sense. A real rarity -- an entertaining volume on keeping costs under control.
Excellent guide to managing cost strategically September 22, 2008
Andrew Wileman provides a series of practical toolkits that help you achieve cuts in your cost structure to support your company's strategic position. He also shows why cost slashing destroys brands and undermines future growth. His writing can be a bit colloquial and clunky at times, but it's still very clear and easy to read. The book stays on point from beginning to end. Each chapter provides a list of the key ideas for each toolkit. getAbstract recommends this book to executives, CFOs, managers and others who are responsible for budgeting.
Intelligently Done -- Wonderful Read September 18, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Bought it after reading the very complimentary Economist Review.
Refreshing new perspective for an age old management challenge. Very useful and surprisingly entertaining. Witty, great anecdotes. A must read for managers -- intelligent cost cutting for all environments. Brilliant.
Highly Recommended!
The Economist's review is on the money September 14, 2008
I ordered the book after reading a very complimentary review in The Economist's Aug 27th, 2008 issue - [...]
Like most other reviewers, I found the book a fast and interesting read without the dry dense text that is common in most business texts.
Equally importantly, unlike most business best sellers, Mr. Wileman's book is not 250 pages around a single insight. Instead it is a series of practical ideas around the entire gamut of costs that exist in any business.
The best business book I've read all year.
