    The Lean IT Skills You Will Build and Apply

    Across the Full 8-Module Programme

    Lean IT Foundation Training builds a practical, applied skill set across the full 8-module syllabus, from Lean thinking and customer value to process mapping, performance measurement, visual management and Kaizen. By the end you can identify waste, map value streams and drive continuous improvement in any IT environment.

    Lean Thinking for IT

    Understand what you will learn in Lean IT from the ground up: the five Lean principles, the waste types muda, mura and muri, the Toyota Production System roots, and how to classify IT activities as value-add, necessary non-value-add or non-value-add.

    Voice of the Customer to CTQ

    Learn to capture the Voice of the Customer, identify customer types and values, and translate them into Critical to Quality requirements so IT services are shaped around what customers actually need.

    Mapping and Improving Processes

    Apply the SIPOC model, Value Stream Mapping, push and pull concepts, Heijunka and 5S to see how IT work really flows and where waste, delay and rework build up.

    Measuring Operational Performance

    Use the Deming circle (PDCA), Key Performance Indicators and Process Cycle Efficiency to measure IT performance, close gaps and prove that improvements are real and sustained.

    Visual Management and Flow

    Set up Kanban and visual management boards, improve the speed of communication across the organisation, and use performance dialogue to empower teams and keep work flowing.

    Lean Leadership and Kaizen

    Explore the Shingo model, Lean leadership behaviours (go see, ask why, show respect), and the Kaizen mindset with DMAIC, Kakushin and Kaikaku to make Lean IT a long-term success.
