In this episode, we explore Nicholas S. Katko’s The Lean CFO: Architect of the Lean Management System, which redefines the role of CFOs in organisations embracing Lean principles. The book serves as a practical guide for finance leaders, encouraging a shift away from traditional methods like standard costing toward value stream accounting that supports Lean strategies. We discuss how CFOs can champion the integration of Lean methodologies into financial management to eliminate waste, focus on value creation, and drive sustainable success. The conversation also covers adapting ERP systems and understanding the financial advantages of Lean implementations.
