The pressure on IT organisations is very high. Success today depends on adapting to quickly changing business needs, better aligning services with customers, reducing costs and increasing performance, … all while keeping up with fast-paced technology and industry evolution.

Lean has become the standard method of maximising effectiveness and value in a range of areas – from production to logistics to retail to product development. And now Lean is turning up more and more in IT departments and environments.
