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.
