People would be amazed at how much costs can be taken out of a business or a government department without actually touching wages, benefits, headcount and more.
When people are incentivized, it's almost like magic things happen and all of a sudden everybody becomes frugal. There is always a fine balance between frugality and value but the notion that budgets should only go one way is usually reserved for government.

Always is a strong word in this statement.
Can you provide any examples of many businesses that haven’t seen their costs go up over the last few years?
