Description

Do you want to achieve startup speed at enterprise scale?Growth. It’s what every company strives for. But it’s become more and more elusive as companies struggle to hit their projected growth rates in an increasingly competitive market.While zero-based budgeting (ZBB) has been wielded for decades to cut costs, it falls short when it comes to spurring growth. But a zero-based mindset (ZBx) does that and more. ZBx facilitates forensic oversight into resource allocation that funnels savings back into growth initiatives and encourages new sources of innovation.The Big Zero shows how a ZBx approach focuses on agility over austerity, visibility over guesswork and the future over the past to fuel growth and competitiveness.

The Big Zero catapults innovation to a new level – and the timing couldn't be better. In my teaching at Harvard, I've found the biggest challenge for senior-most executives is steadily protecting and improving current business models, while pursuing the break-thru innovation that leads to new levels of value creation. Kris Timmermans elevates the well-proven strategy of Zero-Based Budgeting by expanding its dimensions and illuminating a new path forward for leaders who are not only looking to increase efficiency, but also striving to invest smartly in growth. The Big Zero is required reading for executives in all sectors that want to survive and thrive in this turbulent world
Other text

If you are looking for a framework (or mindset) that defines the future for leading change in the next decade and beyond look no further. The Big Zero breaks the mold on almost all current paradigms. While incorporating many of the components that we know to be critical – from transforming culture and improving agility to leveraging digital and the benefits of AI, robotics and the like – it also dismisses the old school definitions of continuous improvement, zero based budgeting, and benchmarking. This is a brilliantly refreshing perspective – one you will want your entire team to read and discuss
