Zero-based budgeting is especially important in the age of AI. The organizations that can integrate AI most effectively will not only experience the greatest cost savings but also the greatest productivity gains.
On the topic of "zero-based everything", what are your thoughts about procurement approvals, specifically as it relates to developer tools and infrastructure? The reason I ask is that I see many developers spend weeks and even months of their (very expensive) time in reaction to the friction of those approval processes. This results in wasting tens of thousands of dollars to "save" hundreds of dollars - each time, probably rolling up to millions in larger organizations.
