Nobody Audits What They Assume — The Friday Question Every CEO Should Ask
In this brief video, Paul H. Flowers Jr. challenges CEOs to scrutinize the assumptions underlying their corporate spend, especially recurring vendor contracts that automatically renew without review. He highlights that many companies overlook the largest line item—automatic renewals—treating it as inevitable rather than a negotiable cost. Flowers points out that two‑thirds of covered employees are already in self‑funded health plans where the employer pays only its own claims, and he asks CEOs to consider what their costs would be if they shifted to a similar model. He argues that asking this simple question often reveals that the same doctors and coverage can be retained with better financial outcomes. The video ends with a call to action: “Question the assumption this Friday” and an invitation to run the numbers at his website.
