I'm a software/engineering lead and executive management is cutting my budget.
I am looking for all ways possible to save money.
I understand people working at the lower levels probably have a different perspective than me on the day to day happenings of the work, environment and processes, etc.
The question is, would it be a good idea to have them come up with ways to save money?
Would I get honest answers or ideas that are canned and are self interest seeking?
Would it make me look unprofessional to my superiors?
Any help is appreciated....
