4. Develop a model of the control system.
5. Collect data on input variables regularly.
6. Assess data on input variables regularly.
7. Take action on what you learn.

Beyond the BookAdding Control from the TopWhen current CEO Paul Hanrahan first joined energy provider AES, an executive told him, “We don’t have procedures…use your common sense.” For years, the decentralized structure and entrepreneurial atmosphere helped drive AES to rapid growth and success. In 2002, however, a liquidity crisis involving short term debt and lax accounting standards almost sunk the company. While much of the freedom and experimentation remains, Hanrahan has added some structure as well. New finance, human resources, and business development divisions were established. And in 2008, AES’s accounting practices were finally brought into compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

Beyond the BookBig Results from Little ChangesSmall changes to a process can have significant results, especially in large companies like Home Depot. In trying to find new ways to cut back on expenses, Home Depot decided to change the brand of the coffee they served at their help desk for professional contractors (note: they didn’t eliminate the coffee entirely). They managed to save $500,000. Several $500,000 changes can really add up.

Why Is EVA Important?• Shows whether a business, division, department,
profit center, or product is paying for itself
• Makes managers at all levels pay closer attention to their segment of the business
• Encourages managers
and workers to be
creative in looking for
ways to improve

Cost-Cutting GuidelinesHere are some guidelines for cost-cutting:
1. Instead of implementing one-off cost-cuts, examine the entire process involved in a job and ask how it can be made more efficient.
2. Try bartering with other companies. Exchange low margin cost products for things that you would normally pay cash for.
3. Offer to split the savings with employees.4. Reducing expenses at the cost of quality can have adverse
effects. 5. Leasing as opposed to buying equipment can reduce costs
and have tax benefits. 6. Establish contract terms with your distributors that allow you
to renegotiate prices annually.

The Customer PerspectiveControlling Customer Defections
• Monitoring customer defections: – identify which customers are leaving the
company
– measuring the rate at which they are leaving
• Obtaining a new customer costs ten times as much as keeping a current one
• Customers who have left are likely to tell you what you are doing wrong
• Understanding why a customer leaves can help fix problems and make changes3.33.3
