    The Lean IT Skills You Will Build

    Practical Tools You Can Apply at Work

    Lean IT training equips you with a practical, end-to-end toolkit for improving IT services. Across eight modules you move from Lean philosophy and customer value to process improvement, performance, leadership and Kaizen, so you leave able to apply what you learned at work.

    You will learn what you gain from Lean IT training: how to apply the five Lean principles, distinguish value-add from waste, and use the Toyota Production System thinking to improve IT services and operations.

    Focus on Customer Value

    Capture the Voice of the Customer, translate it into Critical to Quality requirements, and keep IT teams focused on the outcomes that genuinely matter to the business.

    Map and Improve Processes

    Use SIPOC and Value Stream Mapping to model existing processes, apply push and pull thinking, and pinpoint where delay, rework and waste build up in IT workflows.

    Measure Operational Performance

    Work with Key Performance Indicators, Process Cycle Efficiency and the Deming circle (PDCA) to measure and steadily raise the performance of IT services.

    Use Visual Management and Kanban

    Set up Kanban and visual management boards, improve the speed and clarity of communication, and structure teams so that flow and continuous improvement become routine.

    Adopt Lean Behaviour and Leadership

    Understand the difference between traditional and Lean management, apply go-see, ask-why and show-respect leadership, and sustain a Lean transformation over the long term.

    Lead with the Shingo Model

    Apply the guiding principles of the Shingo model and the essentials of Lean IT leadership to embed improvement into how an IT organisation is run.

    Drive Kaizen and DMAIC
