00:00:11.125 --> 00:00:12.708
Overall, across the value chain,

2
00:00:12.708 --> 00:00:15.208
people are seeing challenges
in bottom line due

3
00:00:15.208 --> 00:00:19.125
to demand reductions, inventory
burdens, and et cetera.

4
00:00:19.125 --> 00:00:22.083
All these are making cost
reduction high on the agenda

5
00:00:22.083 --> 00:00:24.125
of CEOs in the sector.

6
00:00:24.125 --> 00:00:27.000
In some of my recent
conversations with tech CEOs

7
00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:29.333
to drive cost excellence, the questions

8
00:00:29.333 --> 00:00:31.833
that keep them awake
at night are following:

9
00:00:31.833 --> 00:00:35.333
Am I pushing all possible
front on value to be captured?

10
00:00:35.333 --> 00:00:38.125
Am I falling behind on
leveraging the latest digital

11
00:00:38.125 --> 00:00:40.708
and AI solutions to
get ahead of the curve?

12
00:00:41.625 --> 00:00:44.375
How do I overcome the
operational inertias within my

13
00:00:44.375 --> 00:00:47.875
organization to drive for
aggressive cost cutting?

14
00:00:47.875 --> 00:00:49.375
How do I make cost advantage

15
00:00:49.375 --> 00:00:51.208
as my overall strategic strength

16
00:00:51.208 --> 00:00:53.208
to pave the way into the
next stage of growth?
