“Lean and Accounting: The Role of the CEO and CFO”
- Orry Fiume 

We need to understand the principles, practices and tools of Lean Accounting.  But, in the end it is all about people.  Understanding this, and the CEO’s and CFO’s changed roles in this new environment, was central to The Wiremold Company’s Lean Transformation.

“Lean System Design to Overcome Implementation Barriers”
- David Cochran

Several companies are using the Collective System Design language and process to overcome lean implementation issues. Vignettes describe the principles, the language and the actions necessary to overcome three fundamental lean implementation barriers: incomplete system designs that “seem right” (i.e., management accounting), chasing the silver bullet, and lean-practice zealotry. Collectively designed systems require collectively held beliefs and understanding that are internalized by the people within an organization. The vignettes describe how to align beliefs, thinking and actions to sustain lean within your enterprise.
