#096: LEANing into Business Operations to Add Value with Andrea Jones

As a finance professional what part of the P&L springs to mind when you think of Lean? Cost-Cutting? Or Revenue-Generation? In actual fact lean is first about how do we provide the value that the customer is willing to pay for with the minimum amount of waste, it is really customer and revenue focussed. This is just one of the many topics our guest mentor Andrea Jones and I cover on today’s episode as well as covering a number of relevant other areas around: • Andrea highlights the important distinction behind what lean really means and why it is more a revenue & customer focus than simply cost. • A massive opportunity for Finance to easily help the business around something that we take for granted. • How Finance can better support operations.
