Forgive me for stating this, but business should ALWAYS be looking at improving efficiencies. It should not require a golbal financial crisis to prompt managers to do this, and any suggestion that this is the case should be clearly rejected.

Yes, the fact is that there is less money around, and it is harder to come by. Does that that managers all of a sudden wake up in the morning and think "hmm, from today I will now (and only now) seek efficiencies"? That would be an unusual position to take, dont you think?

I think we all get it - try and do more from less, particularly now that less resource is generally available. But as I said, this should be standard procedure for all managers.
