KAIZEN AND PROBLEMS A3ORGANIZING KAIZEN THE METHOD
This case takes place in a Danish financial organization over the course of 2½ months, and focuses on the core processes
“money in” and “money out”.
Situation
The processes in scope are highly critical to core business and customer perception. They were under suspicion for being
highly complex and at high risk for errors. The money in must be visible on the portal within a couple of days, and money out
must be executed correctly and on a timely manner.
Complication
Many potential points of failure in the processes, much dependencies on specific employees to run daily operations within the
processes, and lots of manual control and follow up results in risky core processes.
Key Question
Can we execute our core processes with less risk of failure and with more certainty of timeliness?
Note: Structure from Barbara Miintos “Pyramid Principle”, which you learn more about in the Lean IT Kaizen course.
4. Hands-on Case Lean IT Kaizen
Key activities
• Mobilizing and preparing for the Kaizen improvement work and events
• Ensuring management support and alignment
• Preparing and mobilizing for the subsequent implementation and control
work
Preparation for the events
• Identifying the general source of improvements
• Mobilizing VOC, VOR, VOP, VOE etc
• Qualifying the situation: Is there a gap, do we know the causes, do we
know the solutions?
• Identifying the Kaizen team roles: Sponsor, lead, team (5-8, well… 20…)
• Preparing for the Kaizen events (location, attendees, artefacts)
• Coordinating for management leverage and support
4. Hands-on Case Lean IT Kaizen

The DEFINE phase

The MEASURE phase
The ANALYZE phase
The IMPROVE phase
The CONTROL phase
Employees were highly
engaged and felt extremely
empowered
Employer had a more
efficient process
execution, and less risk
in core processes
The level of complexity in core
processes were highly reducedI think regulators were
more happy too…
Customers

How can the LITA Lean IT Kaizen Course help in a
case like this?
Having the knowledge that you get from the Lean IT Kaizen course, will give you a well tested structure to plan
and execute your improvement work around.
Particularly regarding:
- Stakeholder mobilization
- Problem identification and analysis
- A3 for the right overview
- DMAIC for the right progression
It is a clear advantage, if the employees and leaders involved are also trained in the Foundation and
Leadership areas…

Thank You!
Experience Lean IT in Action
We believe that “Lean Thinking” should be an integral part of every
Enterprise IT organization and also every IT professional’s toolkit.
Lean thinking is about understanding how to assess business processes, to identify and eliminate
waste. Today, many IT professionals stakeholders from cross-functional areas -operational,
tactical and strategic — have or are planning to get certified in Lean IT with the objective of
reducing waste and improving efficiency.
