What separates companies that control costs from those constantly reacting to them?

In this episode of KPI Fireside, host Keith Norris sits down with Duane Deason to unpack what smarter cost management really looks like in practice. This isn’t about cutting budgets or tightening spending. It’s about understanding where cost is created, where value is lost, and how organizations can make better decisions with clearer data.

🔻 Cost problems are usually system problems

🔻 You can’t manage what you can’t clearly see

🔻 Cost reduction vs. cost understanding

🔻 Data needs to be usable, not just available
