What quick and dirty changes can you make to improve profitability?

This is aimed at a interview question which may ask something along the lines of how can we increase the profitability of a target company?

I was wondering if anyone has a list of quick and dirty changes for example:

Renew lease agreements Align incentives of employees and company Renegotiate terms with suppliers cash flow management etc

Thanks
