Supply Chain Focus: Tariff risks under President-elect Trump may directly or indirectly affect Australia and Australian companies. Mitigate supply chain vulnerabilities by diversifying suppliers and investing in technology. Have a Plan B. Consider using tools such as scenario planning to understand supply chain vulnerabilities.
Pricing Strategies: Regular price reviews are crucial. Avoid revising prices only once a year; as this exposes companies to sudden cost increases.
Cost Control: Leverage the 80/20 rule by targeting high-impact areas for cost reduction. Don't overlook indirect or tail-end expenses; which can be substantial. If internal resources are limited; consider outsourcing to third-party experts who can work on a contingency basis.

Companies should continue adopting a proactive cost management approach to manage uncertainties. Scenario planning is one helpful tool for understanding vulnerabilities and planning options.
