			<title><![CDATA[Re: Rewards Programs]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[Speaking from the candidate side (I have undertaken LSS certification on my own without a company LSS strategy), nothing motivates more than real, demonstrable career benefits.&amp;nbsp; Having successful candidates promoted, advanced and recognized speaks louder than any short term monetary rewards.
If you build the perception upon&amp;nbsp;the foundation that the future business leaders of the company are selected from successful candidates, you will naturally attract not only candidates, but the best candidates.&amp;nbsp; I posit that you would also find yourself selecting from a pool of top candidates as opposed to attempting to find people you can entice.
The prior response about the CEO and COO dinner etc is a great way to not only recognize the BB after a project, but also reinforces the executive leadership support behind the efforts and career opportunities.&amp;nbsp;That being said, nothing speaks louder than actual examples of career advancement.&amp;nbsp; This also starts driving the culture since the new leaders will recognize the benefits of the LSS experience and continue the cycle.

			<title><![CDATA[Re: Financial Close Process]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[We used the closing calendar (Sarbanes Oxley control), developed by our accounting department, as&amp;nbsp;the basic structure for our process mapping.&amp;nbsp; It also helped get our team on the same page as far as what needs to happen (within IT and accounting staff) in order to close the books.
It also helped to find other companies within&amp;nbsp;our industry (as accounting&amp;nbsp;was similar) and with a similar operations system that&amp;nbsp;had gone through this type of project.
I hope this helps and good luck.]]></description>
