THE SPEED
OF CHANGE
ZBx, or zero-based mindset, is a new approach,
more hollistic than ZBB. Unleashing ZBx involves
gaining a forensic visibility into enterprise-wide
spending, and funneling savings back into growth
initiatives—making companies agile, more
competitive in the digital age.
will never be as slow as it is today
To keep up, companies need to take out non-
working money that doesn’t support the business
strategy and reinvest it in growth.

Spend
ZBxISABOUTIMPROVINGAGILITY
Enables organizations to identify
discretionary consumption of non-
labor overhead expenses through a
unique lens of granular cost visibility.
This allows leadership to make the
right choices to change the culture of
the organization, ultimately freeing
up cash that can funnel into growth
initiatives, capability improvements
and improving EBITDA.

Designs the organization from a
clean sheet to shift talent from
work that no longer contributes to
desired outcomes to the distinctive
capabilities required to win in the
future. Because the organization,
talent, end-to-end capabilities and
routines that have been passed
from one generation to the next are
not necessarily the same ones
required to win in the new.
ZERO-BASED
ORGANIZATION

Optimizes marketing, sales, customer
service and pricing to deliver superior
customer economics.
ZERO-BASED
COMMERCIAL
Copyright © 2018 Accenture. All rights reserved. 6
Identifies the “should cost” of COGS and
cost reduction opportunities across three
levers—price, performance and value
engineering—while optimizing product
and service complexity. A closed loop
process ensures results hold over time.

“LOOKINTHEREAR-VIEWMIRROR”
WHEN IT COMES TO COST REDUCTION, TOO MANY…
Setting projected resource needs based
on past demands and applying
incremental cutbacks on past budgets.
But this approach doesn’t account for
change, and cost curves have undergone
fundamental transformation, dropping
precipitously thanks to fast evolution of
new technologies. Or in some cases,
rising dramatically. Changes so dramatic
that the only way to compete is to use a
new, more forward-looking approach to
establish what costs “should be”.

OPTIMIZATION
Just like a crash diet, most
cost optimization initiatives
don’t last. In fact, only
36 percentof companies
surveyed agree that their
business sustains the benefit
of cost optimization
programs.

THEXFACTOR:
CEOCOMMITMENT
To drive a ZBx mentality requires ownership by the CEO
and the leadership team. They are responsible for driving
and operationalizing ZBx on a daily basis.
FOCUS ON THEFOUR
Zero-base and examine your should costs for everything from
plant maintenance to customer marketing and sales. The cash
can then be reinvested for growth.
ZBxMINDSET
Hardwire ZBx into your company culture to create a sustained
commitment to should-cost mentality. How? Create a structure
for “category ownership” to ensure there are checks to keep
the players honest.
