Map Every Dollar to Value

List your top spend categories and explicitly link each to a value driver such as revenue growth, risk reduction, or customer satisfaction. If a dollar lacks a purpose, reassign it or cut it. Comment with one expense you’ll remap this week.

Calculate the Cost of Doing Nothing

Often, delays quietly erode profits. Quantify the lost margin from outdated contracts, manual work, or deferred maintenance. When inaction is a hidden expense, smart spending means choosing timely, targeted action. Share a stall that cost you real money.

Clean Your Spend Data First

Before you optimize, standardize vendors, tag transactions, and remove duplicates. Clear data exposes waste and unlocks confident negotiations. Ask for our free tagging checklist, and subscribe for templates that help categorize spending consistently across teams.

Automation That Prevents Waste

Route approvals by amount, category, and business impact. Surface last year’s usage and alternatives at the moment of decision. This turns approvals into tiny strategy checkpoints. What context would help your approvers say a faster, smarter yes?

Reinvest Savings to Multiply Profit

Channel savings into small, time-boxed tests with clear success thresholds. One ecommerce team redirected printing costs into landing page experiments and lifted average order value by 9%. Comment with a test you’d greenlight if you found $5,000 today.
