His deliberation was followed numerous questions and queries by the students. Each and every of the queries were patiently answered by Mr. Shrivastav. The session was so engaging and interesting that it continued for half an hour more than the scheduled time limit of one hour.

Summary of the subject and few main points of the speech:
In today’s highly volatile global business and economic environment, enterprises worldwide are facing increased challenges, both externally and internally, to sustain profitable growth. Under rapidly changing market conditions, the ability to reduce operating costs and allocate budgets correctly is paramount for organizations to survive and grow. Strategic Cost Management enables leadership teams to reduce expenses in categories that yield little impact, and optimize spend in areas that drive sustainable growth. Strategic Cost Management programs can help identify and eliminate such expenses which do not add value. Thus it assists in freeing up cash and other resources that can be invested to drive organizational growth as well as to enhance shareholder ROI and corporate value.

The key takeaways from the session for the students are as below:

Stakeholders’ expectations and increasing competition and dynamism in business, both in domestic and global business environment, exert constant pressure on the profit margins;
Margins are the only source of meeting the diverse expectations of the stakeholders;
The only way out is to apply suitable Cost Management Techniques which aim to eliminate wasteful expenses which do not create any value, but to maintain or if possible to enhance quality of product and service;
These set of suitable Cost Management Techniques are called Strategic Cost Management Techniques as it is aligned with the strategy of the organization defined by its vision and mission statements;
Most commonly used Strategic Cost Management techniques include Life Cycle Costing, Target Costing, Activity Based Costing, Total Quality Management, Six Sigma, Balanced Score Card, Kaizen Costing, JIT Inventory Control System, Theory of Constraints, Business Process Reengineering, Benchmarking etc.
Strategic Cost Management is a continuous and cyclical process involving planning, executing, controlling and re-planning;
Retrenchment is not an advisable Strategic Cost management Techniques as it deprives the organization of valuable resources; up-skilling and proper deployment is the key in the matter;
Excessive focus on short-term objectives i.e. managerial myopia is a serious deterrent for applying Strategic Cost Management techniques as Strategic Cost Management primarily addresses long-term objectives of the organization
