Management consulting giant Bain conducted a survey in the Asia-Pacific region to deduce that four-fifths of those polled have or will be employing Zero Based Budgeting (ZBB). However, just as historical trends would attest, they aren’t that popular. In fact in nine out of eleven cases, employees of organizations where ZBB has been implemented will refer their friends not to join the firm. In order to bridge this gap, a way has been found out. It is called zero based redesign. This as a system has been known to rekindle a sense of ownership among the company’s employees. Agility in procedures can also be induced in this manner. To achieve this, overheads must start getting treated as investments rather than expenses. Instead of highlighting the technical and financial policies, its human centric focus must be focused on. The top management needs to take up a leadership position to drive the intended strategies.
