Two Ways To Reap Lean Accounting’s Benefits
New group and upcoming summit open online and in-person
opportunities.
Keeping up
with the latest in lean accounting just got easier. Lean
accounting educator, trainer, consultant, speaker and author
Brian Maskell has launched Lean Accounting SuperGroup
at
http://leanaccounting.ning.com. About 300 people have
signed up for the community so far.
Maskell,
president of BMA Inc., says the purpose of the group is to
be a meeting place for people interested in lean accounting
and lean management systems, to share experiences and learn
from each other. The group is agnostic to industry and
welcomes people and organizations at all levels of lean
learning. Some of the components of the online community
include (some are for members only):
-
Experts
writing monthly blogs.
-
Open
forum for questions or conversation starters.
-
A forum
for member stories - lessons learned, experiences worth
sharing, etc.
-
An area
to upload relevant resources such as templates.
-
Calendar of events.
-
Training videos.
Recent
topics for discussion include value stream costing,
measuring customer value, and maintaining Respect for People
during financial downturns.
Maskell and
many of the other experts featured in the Lean Accounting
SuperGroup will be presenters at the
Lean Accounting Summit, Sept. 21-23 in Orlando. The most
updated agenda includes presentations by the Dept. of
Defense, Boeing, Park Nicollet, Lantech, Miller Fabrication
