Lean-IT

Achieve operational excellence with a customer-oriented culture resulting in improved service quality, efficiency and lower costs.

Lean IT is about maximizing customer value and the flow of that value through end-to-end value streams. Lean IT creates the basis for an agile and DevOps way of working. Lean IT focuses on the continuous improvement of IT delivery processes by minimizing waste. Simply put, Lean is about creating more value with fewer resources. Implementing Lean increases IT productivity by an average of 25% within 12 months. In addition, your IT department can work more effectively and transparently, and becomes more relevant to your business colleagues or customers.

Improving IT Using Lean Principles
Lean IT is the application of Lean principles to all aspects of IT. Lean IT can be applied to IT service management, software development, project management and operational practices. We can help you implement Lean IT to maximize customer value and minimize waste. We use sound principles, tools and methods from both Lean and Six Sigma to help you achieve your IT goals.
Lean IT Measurement and Metrics
Traditional IT service management tends to use extensive metrics to assess different aspects of processes. This provides a lot of detail, but makes it difficult to determine which metrics are most important to the end outcomes. The KPIs identified in a Lean IT approach focus on performance, desired results and how to achieve them without losing sight of the processes.
