Egypt From ZBB to a Zero-based Mindset
A Zero-based Mindset—or ZBx—goes beyond Zero-based Budgeting to help you identify non-working money and reinvest it for growth and innovation.
KENZ BUSINESS JOURNAL FOR INDIA — 6TH EDITION
Resetting cost baseline to fuel growth
Achieve startup speed at enterprise scale
Whereas ZBB was the tip of the opportunity iceberg, ZBx is an evolved way of thinking that favors agility over austerity, visibility over guesswork and future vision over past to fuel competitive agility.
Gone are the days of incremental problem-solving, like debating business class or fresh fruit in the lobby. A zero-based mindset is more than line items and balance sheets—it’s about transforming a culture at its core by aligning priorities across the organization. It reinvigorates mindsets and behaviors, endowing people with ownership over their spend and how they channel savings into new sources of growth.
It’s not easy to create a culture of innovation at every level, but ZBx makes it possible, and we make it happen.

To build your future, forget your past
A zero-based mindset means starting from scratch and building up to what your costs should be, based on the outcomes you want. This is a modern alternative to the practice of examining past results and incrementally carving out costs.
Fundamentally different than zero-based budgeting, ZBx helps you identify the good costs from the bad costs and realign resources to invest in growth, profitability, sustainability and trust.
