Flowtivity and Process Improvement
Have you met Dustin Hostetler, the Principal at Flowtivity and Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt? He’s been visible at many CPA management conferences the last few years and was formerly with Lean CPA.
Hostetler is a pioneer in helping CPA firms apply Lean concepts to their unique functions such as tax return and payroll preparation, pension administration, bookkeeping and auditing.
I had the pleasure of having lunch with Hostetler a couple of weeks ago and learned first-hand about his new company, Flowtivity, and about a great new opportunity for CPA firms to have their own in-house, certified Green Belt.
Hostetler is partnering with Ohio State University’s Business Training & Educational Services to offer a Green Belt Certification Course that is CPA-focused. The number of participants is limited because after the training is over, participants will receive remote coaching from Hostetler with their own process improvement project. The course will be November 1-4, 2011 in Columbus, Ohio. Learn more here.
