Lean IT Intermediate

Course Description:
Most IT organizations measure their productivity in terms of how busy people are. They find great difficulty increasing productivity or decreasing the cost of their service delivery. Cutting back costs seems more relevant than ever before. Fewer organizations dare to discuss how to make jobs for their employees more satisfying and relevant, how to learn more effectively and how to focus just on delivery of value for their customers. They understand that the key to sustainable transformation is to inspire people to continuously improve organizational performance, and deliver true value for customers.

Many IT organizations recognize the need to drive innovation and sustainable growth. We know there is too much waste and complexity in our processes that prevent us from being effective or productive. What IT organizations need is a fundamental understanding on how to identify these impediments and tackle them permanently.

Lean IT practices support our organizations in rapid and continuous cycles of feedback on our delivery, feeding improvement initiatives that help increase performance. They help us to deliver services, more innovatively, faster, and of higher quality instead of merely keeping the lights on of our existing portfolio. Lean thinking is well-established, but only just emerging in their extension from manufacturing and services to Information Technology.
