Hey, I need your thoughts on this!
Company A's large commercial footprint results in high costs and complexity. Company A has 29 affiliates, 33 partner markets, 80 total markets and a customer facing ratio on 40-80%.
The overall purpose is cost reduction and increased simplicity.
How would you approach this?
What analyses would you conduct?
I would do a profitability analysis of each region and compare, but what else?
Kind regards,
Rikke

Hey Clara, Of course, the overall purpose is cost reduction and increased simplicity! Thank you, Kind regards, Rikke
I don't think you understand Clara's comment. If that's the only target, and there's no other objective or constraint, and you are only optimizing for cost and simplicity the answer is very straightforward: stop doing all of that. Actually do nothing. That way there's not cost and is very simple. So you actually need to clarify what is the constraint and what are the trade-offs to consider.
