Lean is traditionally associated with manufacturing and, therefore, repetitive processes. In the tech industry, this has led to the widespread belief that lean is great for the maintenance part, but does not apply to software engineering, because it is too creative to be repetitive enough. But that’s forgetting that the real secret of Toyota is not in its factories, but in its engineering! Fabrice will look at examples in the tech industry of how Lean Thinking can improve the creative process to create better products and introduce not just continuous improvements but also breakthrough innovations.
