It works!” ~ John Firth QDI is working on with local firm, Accretive of Indiana, on a number of expense-reduction (found money) initiatives on a shared-savings basis, meaning QDI only pays out a portion of actual savings, not for time Accretive and its alliance partners invest in seeking out savings opportunities.
