Tighten our grip on cost transformation
– Technology is constantly changing
– Our customers are demanding better value for money in highly
competitive markets
– It provides the oxygen to invest in growth
– Reducing the cost of failure in customer service also reduces costs
•
Deliver on our promises
•
It’s not cost transformation OR customer service - it’s both
