Workshop F:The world your way: conviction management for
Lean organisationsMany organisations are looking to adopt Lean, borrowingpractices from the Lean pioneers - but many are notgetting the results they really wanted. It is Fujitsu’s view that the successful adoption of Leanmeans departing from the path of adopting “best practice”and committing to the path of what’s right for yourbusiness. This means defining the essence of Lean andthen building the toolkit to support the organisationsneeds, addressing both the big, obvious issues as well ascreating the environment to drive continuous improvement.Genuine Lean can feel like a leap of faith for managers –moving away from managing symptoms towards investingin the way work gets done. This challenges the commontrait of “hero management” and replaces it with convictionmanagement.This workshop will consider these issues and looks at howto tackle these challenges through:• An architecture for delivering Lean• Leadership and management commitment• Measuring what mattersElla Bennett, HR Director and Programme Director forFujitsu’s Lean programmePhil Falato, Practice Head, Fujitsu’s Lean Solutionsgroup

9.30 Delivering Lean IT services Fujitsu believes that today’s IT industry is at the point the carindustry was 20 years ago and needs the sort of shake-up thatToyota created. The CIO is under siege, the business wants morefor less from IT, while on the other hand systems and processesare creaking under a legacy born out of decades of bespoke-ismand re-invention. The result is that over two-thirds of the averageIT budget is spent “keeping the lights on”, with every new
system putting even more pressure on future spend. • Move out of the design excellence phase into assembly
excellence • Maximise re-usability of components in new solutions• Eliminate unnecessary work in service processes• Build products and services which work first timePhil Falato, Practice Head, Lean Solutions Group, Fujitsu
