Good managers use “the numbers” to quantify decisions and proposals. But what if there is a fundamental flaw in the way managers traditionally look at the numbers? A flaw that conditioning blinds us to, but that ultimately leads to decisions and recommendations that degrade the bottom line rather than strengthen it?

If you are measuring product cost, patient cost, project cost, or service cost, it is nearly certain that this flaw is built into the numbers you use.

In this eye-opening class, Lisa Scheinkopf will guide you to see the numbers without the blinders, recognize the flaw that leads organizations toward bad decisions, and open the way for powerful throughput and financial performance.
