About the Book

An instructional book on implementing a Lean Culture in IT organizations. Implementing Lean IT. This book introduces the I.T. Pattern Matching Methodology; classifying I.T. work into Patterns and matching them with corresponding Lean Tools by: 1) Recognizing that a manufacturing approach is not an out-of-the-box fit for I.T. work. 2) Starting a Lean Culture by listening to the voice of the customer and establishing visual metrics & goals. 3) Giving voice to your goals by deploying internal marketing campaigns in order to level-set key stakeholder's expectations. 4) Moving out by matching specific work with repeatable patterns and lean tools that reduce waste and establish pull / flow. Is your company currently implementing Lean manufacturing based on the Toyota Production System (TPS)? If so, IT and other knowledge work organization may find themselves in the position of attempting to create a Lean structure using blueprints intended for operations and production groups. Many IT professionals have jettisoned their Lean efforts citing issues related to wasted time and a lack of synergy with the Lean toolset. A recent internet poll shows that 41% of IT professions preferred practical examples on how to implement Lean IT over other tools and management support. The "Lean Tower of IT" is such a resource. The Pattern Matching Methodology provides valuable, practical examples of how to start and execute the creation of your own Lean IT culture.
