    Session Descriptions

    Lean accounting: A missing link

    In these economic times, you have likely made changes in your organization. Has the accounting function kept up with those changes? Do you know your real product costs? To achieve valuable, lean-reflective financials, your company must take its lean commitment beyond the plant floor and change the way the accounting function participates in lean improvements. In this informational session, learn how to better leverage your accounting functions and activities, understand the true indicators of improvement and make better product cost decisions. You will leave this session better equipped to leverage your lean investment and make decisions that improve cash flow, profitability, and customer growth and retention.

    Research and development tax credits: You too can get your fair share

    For manufacturers looking for ways to reduce taxes and generate cash flow, finding opportunities for research and development tax credits make a lot of sense. What if you learned that your company could earn significant tax savings because of work you are already doing as a regular part of your business. In this session, you’ll learn how to identify what types of activities can qualify for the research and development tax credit and how this can benefit your company by reducing the current and future cash outlays for taxes and potentially generating refunds for taxes previously paid to the government.

    Accelerating profitable growth

    Does your company need more profitable customers, products, and services? As a key decision-maker for your company, you can’t afford to miss this session! You will explore a system for innovation, new sales, expanding markets and/or developing products. Join us to explore key principles for accelerating profitable growth in a fun, interactive learning environment. You will leave this seminar armed with knowledge to take back to your business and apply today!
