Are You Lean?

Regardless of what industry you’re in, today’s large companies share some remarkably similar characteristics. We live and die by these common denominators:

•  Heavy reliance on technology, IT teams, and software
• Complex, unpredictable organizational dynamics
• Siloed departments that suffer from lack of communication
• Difficulty understanding or predicting what customers and users want
• Constantly changing and uncertain marketing conditions

In the middle of this daunting mix, we are called upon to constantly innovate or fall behind.

But how?

Is it even possible to repeatedly and methodically achieve this mythical “innovation” that everyone talks about?

Chris contends that it is.

Chris will introduce you to the following:

• Lean: what is it?
• A brief history of lean management principles
• Lean thinking
• Lean applied in today’s professions
  • IT,
  • Development,
  • DevOps,
  • Project Management
• Lean as a vehicle for value creation
