Lean, Agile, Innovation…All buzzwords?
Pat Boens - Lato Sensu Management

A bit of history
Scientific Management (mass production): Frederick Winslow Taylor
Mass Production in Automobile: Henry Ford (Ford Motor Company)
TPS (Lean Manufacturing has developed from that): Toyota became in 2008 number #1 of the sector

Lean: Setting the Scene
Eliminate variations in the production process, “3M” or MUs:
Muda (wastes)
Muri (unreasonable)
Mura (irregularity; lack of uniformity)
Eliminate wastes (“muda”) is the prime motto
Page 5
Chasing Wastes
Simply put, there are 7 wastes that Lean wants to hunt. With time, people have added new ones
Personally, I use a picture of 8 wastes that I have abbreviated as DOMINO-TW:
Seiri: eliminate obstacles byremoving unnecessary items
Seiton: make sureeverything is at its place
Seiso: clean and inspect
Seiketsu: standardizethe practices
Shitsuke: sustainthe practices

Continuously (shitsuke)

Continuous Improvement: Kaizen
Little by little (baby steps)
Better if sustained from the basis with support of management

Pull System
Teams pull their work; there is no use to push it
Teams work with small batches (as opposed to mass production) (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dr67i5SdXiM)
Production flow is limited by capacity; strict application of WIP (Work In Progress); birth of JIT

Value Stream & Systems Thinking
Lean takes care of the entire Value Stream
No local optimization that hampers global optimization

Let People Find Solutions
At the core, Toyota Kata:
Set a vision
Grasp current condition
Establish target condition

Agility in Software Development
In the software industry, the Agile methods were officially born in 2001, even though they were around already many years before
They exist in opposition to more traditional methods of software development, called the waterfall methods, born after their father, Winston Royce, published a paper about large Software Engineering efforts back in 1970.

Agility in Software Development
At the core of the Agile methods we find different flux of thoughts: working with small teams having an end-to-end perspective (vision), simplify to the max (simplicity is the art of maximizing the work not done), working in small iterations in which the product gets built little by little, releasing software as soon as possible as to be able to get feedback of the field asap, refining the product based on the feedback that was collected, improving continuously little by little, ...
Wait a minute! Isn’t that Lean?
Page 14
Agility in Software Development
Yes, Agility is “Lean” applied to “Software development”
People with in small batches (iterations or sprints)
People are self-organized (let them find solutions by themselves)
People reflect regularly upon how they’re doing via retrospectives (Kaizen)
People do whatever is the simplest thing to build (chasing all kind of wastes)
People work with visible backlogs (kanban) limiting what the work in progress (WIP limits)
People working in all transparency

Software Development in Motion
Many major companies tend to work more and more the Agile Way (understand Lean)
They simply copy some giants such as Microsoft, Apple, Google, Facebook, Netflix, Amazon, …
Banks have know understood they are IT companies, and therefore are copying more and more the giants from above
… BUT THEY ALL NEED TO INNOVATE DESPERATELY … and that’s the birth of Lean Startup
Page 16
Lean Startup: Innovation Method
Scientific method based on learning:
Accept that Business Plans are full of hypotheses
Accept that each hypothesis must be put to test
Check asap (one by one – not too many at once)
Build the simplest thing that can possibly (like Science does in Labs) (MVP – Minimum Viable Product)
Persevere or Pivot
Do this in an iterative way
Page 17
Lean Startup: Cone of Uncertainty
Full of hypotheses? Accept the Cone of Uncertainty
A startup is an organization designed to create new products and services under conditions of extreme uncertainty.
Page 18
Lean Startup: BML
Build, Measure, Learn Iterations … pretty much Deming
Page 19
Lean Startup: MVP
Simplest Product that’s viable…
Page 20
Lean Startup: Innovation Method
Usual high-level questions of Lean Startup
Do consumers recognize that they have the problem you are trying to solve?
If there was a solution, would they buy it?
Would they buy it from you?
Can you build a solution for that problem?
This poses the two most fundamental questions:
Value hypothesis
Growth hypothesis
