About Openfieldguide
Openfieldguide helps organizations reduce operating expenses through practical, data-backed methods while protecting service quality and customer outcomes. We began as a small collective of procurement, operations, and finance practitioners who noticed a gap: many cost reduction programs either sacrificed service or were one-time events without durability. Our mission is to change how organizations think about expense improvement. We focus on repeatable processes, measurable targets, and inclusive change management so savings endure. We work with both mid-market firms and large enterprises to identify immediate savings and build the capabilities that sustain them. Our recommendations prioritize low-risk, high-impact actions alongside longer-term transformation pathways that increase agility and resilience.
Our approach
We use a structured, three-phase approach that balances speed and sustainability. The diagnostic phase collects and normalizes spend and process data to reveal priority levers. During the design phase we co-create interventions that include procurement tactics, process simplification, workforce optimization, and targeted automation. The implementation phase focuses on quick wins and governance, with clear owners, KPIs, and monitoring dashboards. Each engagement includes change management so teams adopt new ways of working. We emphasize transparent communication, measurable outcomes, and governance to ensure savings are tracked and persist beyond the initial effort. Our frameworks are practical and adaptable to different sectors, whether professional services, manufacturing, healthcare, or technology operations.
Team and credentials
Our team combines experience from procurement, operations excellence, data analytics, and finance. Senior advisers include former heads of procurement from large enterprises, operations leads with lean transformation experience, and finance professionals who have led margin improvement programs. We bring practical tools like total-cost-of-ownership models, supplier scorecards, and rapid process diagnostics. Every advisor is committed to delivering measurable impact and supporting client teams through handoffs to internal owners. We emphasize capability transfer so organizations can continue to identify and realize savings after we complete an engagement.
Values and commitment
We prioritize responsible cost reduction that preserves customer experience, employee safety, and long-term value. Our interventions avoid short-term cuts that create risk. Instead, we aim for structural improvements and more efficient resource allocation. We measure success by the sustainability of savings and the degree to which teams can maintain new practices internally. Openfieldguide commits to ethical sourcing, transparent reporting, and collaborative execution with client stakeholders to ensure outcomes that are financially sound and operationally sustainable.
