INTRODUCTION

Organisations struggle with digital transformations as they fail to approach it with the same rigour as Lean transformations. Digital transformations too often are focused on the solution rather than clearly defining the problem. Jim Collins in the book “Good to Great” says technology alone cannot transform organisations from good to great, but can accelerate it. The key is gaining clarity of the outcomes that drive the transformation and using technology as an enabler. In this course, you will gain an understanding of how proven and practical Lean techniques and tools can significantly achieve great outcomes in your digital transformations. Rowan Teh will share his 25 years of experience as a Black Belt Lean Six Sigma practitioner delivering enterprise-wide digital transformations.
