Lean Lessons for the Digital Age discusses applying lean principles to digital work. It suggests moving from projects to continuous improvement streams with rapid learning cycles. People should learn together from asking questions and helping others, moving from experts dictating solutions to empowering users as partners. Focus shifts from control to creating value for users by understanding and solving their problems within networks, not rigid systems.
