The Jacksonville Lean Consortium is thrilled to announce the return of our Lean Leadership Webinar Series: Connecting Continuous Improvement to the Bottom Line; presented by Nick Katko on July 15, 2025!

Register Here.


Lean is a multi-faceted business strategy, with a primary focus on employees and learning. Through continuous improvement activities, people learn how to eliminate waste, serve customers better and improve productivity.

However, calculating the actual financial impact of continuous improvement activities is sometimes difficult because traditional financial analytical practices are not “lean-focused.” Connecting continuous improvement to the bottom line is often difficult.

To solve this problem, a lean company must develop an effective and efficient management accounting function that complements its financial accounting system.

The system’s knowledge base must provide value to its users – managers who must measure & analyze lean operations and make quality decisions that align with their lean strategy.



  • The economics of lean.
  • The 6 possible ways continuous improvement can impact financial performance.
  • How to measure continuous improvement operationally & financially.
  • How to integrate lean management accounting into a company’s continuous improvement system.
  • How your company can maximize the ROI from its lean transformation!
