The Lean IT Transformation Foundations Beta Workshop

Columbus, Ohio
January 29, 2016

Our new book, The Lean IT Field Guide, has been widely received as a huge success! The book provides a roadmap of the steps and tools required to launch a successful Lean transformation in IT or any complex work environment. This is the first in a series of workshops as we develop learning opportunities to position attendees to successfully navigate an enterprise-wide cultural transformation built on the bedrock of Purpose, Process, People, and Technology!

This beta workshop is only one to a select group of organizations.

The most difficult step to take in a Lean IT transformation is the very first one. Organizations fall into the trap of learning lean concepts and talking about the possibilities, but the initial excitement fades and the transformation never gets off the ground. Lack of alignment to organizational purpose, inability to figure out where to start, and fear of making mistakes all conspire to keep companies from ever getting started in the first place.

This one day seminar, based on the highly successful book, The Lean IT Field Guide by Mike Orzen and Tom Paider, will provide participants an understanding of the foundational elements needed for a successful lean transformation and practical experience identifying and executing the key activities of pre-launch and day zero activities.

The workshop will focus on preparing you to implement the foundation of a sustainable lean transformation, not just focus on terms, definitions, and theory without application!

In this interactive workshop you will:

  • Gain understanding of the core elements of the Lean IT Roadmap
  • Identify your organization’s current strengths, challenges, and readiness to begin a Lean IT transformation
  • Learn to apply key concepts, methods, and tools critical to successful transformation
  • Acquire the skills to plan and launch a lean transformation using a case study simulation
  • Reflect on how you will apply these concepts and tools to get started at your organization
