The Lean Playbook with Manjit Singh and Antonio Medina

I sat down with Manjit Singh and Antonio Medina to talk about
details of their new book The Lean Playbook. See more below and

Fresh off the release of their The Lean Playbook book. Most books
were very theoretical and didn't show how to practically
implement these techniques and tools, so what we did was collect
a set of experiences from many teams in which we achieved some
specific business outcomes. It's actionable. You can jump to a
tool or challenge you're trying to address and that's what makes
it a good reference book. 


We aren't just focusing on IT - also Lean for Services (Pharma,
government, finance, sales, and more). When people think about
Lean, they think about IT and manufacturing, but the techniques
can be applied in every industry. 


Even though people want to apply Lean, the ask isn't always
clearly defined. In the book, we look at it holistically and look
at the delivery of value and how it flows through the systems.
There are a lot of opportunities to reduce waste:


Empower people to make more decisions.

Create a cross functional team to shift quality earlier in
the process

Eliminate handoff between teams.



We've also given two different ways to go through the book:


Depending on where you are, you can pick your path through
the book

Jump directly to what you're trying to accomplish

Playbook at theleanplaybook.net
