Koenigsaecker Joins Bodek in Keynoting
Lean Accounting Summit
Lean
pioneer George Koenigsaecker, executive vice president at
Simpler Consulting, will be keynote speaker at this
fall’s
Lean
Accounting Summit in Orlando. Koenigsaecker is
author of the book Leading the Lean Enterprise
Transformation (Productivity
Press, 2009) and is known for his lean
accomplishments at The Danaher Corp. and The Hon Company.
“It’s a
great honor to have someone of George’s stature address the
Summit,” said founder Jim Huntzinger. “He is one of the
original pioneers in North America’s lean movement and has
proven his ability to lead successful lean organizations.”
Koenigsaecker joins another lean pioneer and previously
announced keynote presenter, Norm Bodek, president of
PCS Press.
“When you
look at the influence these two gentlemen have had on the
world of lean, we’re in for a real treat to hear directly
from them both,” Huntzinger said.
The Summit
is Sept. 22-23 at Walt Disney World’s Contemporary Resort.
Typically, 300 to 600 top-level executives attend the
summit.
New to the
Summit this year are several companies and topics.
For the
first time, a presentation of lean accounting in healthcare
will be offered. Two pioneering companies will be
represented in Koenigsaecker's former company Jake Brake and
Jean Cunningham's former company Lantech. Both companies
were highlighted in
Lean Thinking. A session titled "Pricing and Quoting the
Lean Accounting Way" will be delivered by Watlow
representatives. And Boeing executives will present a
session titled "Working Capital Management in Recessionary
Times."
Huntzinger
explains, "This agenda provides something fresh
and relevant as attendees seek new ways of thinking,
especially in this current economic climate. We designed it
with ROI in mind, so that companies can justify the expense
of attending. My favorite quote from someone who has
attended every Summit is, 'My team learns something new
every year that boosts our lean efforts. We wouldn't return
if we didn't GET a return.'"
