The document discusses why organization staff salary costs are increasing due to projects. It provides two steps to stop costs from rising: 1) Include the cost of internal staff time worked on projects in project budgets at a fixed daily rate. This allows substituting external staff if needed without exceeding budgets. 2) Use a gated approach to project delivery that progresses in steps, allowing projects to be stopped before too many resources are spent if not viable. Doing so can prevent projects from going over budget or increasing long-term organization costs.
