In the meeting, you are going to push for some “no nonsense” cost controls on overhead, particularly in marketing and engineering. You strongly oppose any layoffs in production, because skilled workers are hard to get and you are forced to pay overtime now. You also need a more automated assembly line, which in the long run will cut production costs and reduce the need for overtime. You would like to cut out the employee development programs initiated by the human resource director. Although the leadership programs were helpful, the self- managed team idea nearly caused a small rebellion when you did not approve of some production changes. You suggest a more centralized operation with tighter financial controls. For example, you feel that sales people pad their expense reports beyond reason. You hope to get support from the consultant for a more efficient and centralized form of operation.
