      Cutting rather than investing to reduce cost

      Pros

      Good breadth of projects. Drive to reduce costs. Some progress and long term plans

      Cons

      Strong path dependancy, resistance to change and reliance on old techniques and tools. Project Managers show the highest prevalence for these. Senior management response to profit warnings is cutting overheads, which is driving skilled labour out because job insecurity, leaving those who cannot leave
