Traditional Cost Optimization treats the inherited budget as the working map of the enterprise. Controllers apply across-the-board reductions, pause recruitment, and restrict discretionary spend. The exercise is familiar, measurable, and incomplete. It lowers a number without changing the work that produced the number. Within a cycle or two, cost creep restores much of the baseline.

Risk Leadership: Beyond Resilience
I have long described the aim of Enterprise Risk Management to be to develop an Adaptive and Resilient organisation (check out my RMP Healthcheck). In recent times the concept of Organisational Resilience has become popular, in particular for those in government and the owners and operators of critical infrastructure.
