Lean Analytics by Alistair Croll, Author, Lean Analytics
This document discusses why small batch production and continuous improvement are now more important than large-scale production due to technologies like 3D printing, cloud computing, and data analytics. It argues that companies should focus on reducing cycle times and learning from data through closed-loop feedback in order to stay competitive. New approaches like Lean Startup, Agile development, and DevOps can help organizations become more adaptable and data-driven.
