At the heart of northern business since 1882

Achieving growth for your practice by increasing value to your clients.

Date: 21 July 2017 08:00 to 09:30

Organiser: ICAEW

Would you believe anyone who said that most of your processes have only 5% value add for your client?

Have you ever wondered why some businesses fly and others fail? The answer isn’t better marketing or sales, but in understanding value and delivering more of it to your clients. Learn how identifying, creating and providing increased value in your business will improve your bottom line. This session will help you identify the 95% of waste in your processes so that you can begin to reduce it – increasing your profit and benefit to your clients.

Whether you are a small practice or global enterprise lean thinking has its place at the core of your organisation.
The session will show you how lean thinking can create breakthrough shifts in performance. Whether your aim is to reduce cost of fixed fee processes, generate capacity for growth, or increase competitive advantage, the key is delivering more value to your customers.
We will answer;

  • Why is there a need to change
  • How lean thinking is relevant to accountancy
  • What you need to do to get started on reducing process waste and increasing value to your clients

‘At its heart, Lean is an operating philosophy focused on creating customer value- in simple terms Lean is about doing more of the right tasks with less wasted effort’. Finance Transformation – A Lean Approach to Increased Value, PwC, July 2013
