Apologies to all cost accountants offended by this, but they are the bane of my work-life too. Absolutely impossible to implement a strategy if the only view is cost containment.
"Grow a market? What will it cost, what will it save?" Sometimes you have to break an egg to make an omelet...
Nice example I once heard:
Take a guy that is about 25% overweight an present him independently to a doctor and a cost accountant for a solution. The doctor will put him on a diet, the cost accountant will chop a limb off.
