9. BearingPoint vision of Lean Management
1. Mindset: focus Lean management system on people. Give priority to BOTTOM-UP approaches … still
maintain a TOP-DOWN framework
2. Flow: stand back, look at flows objectively and consider them in their entirety. Materialize flows to
help measures and optimize them
3. Value: understand what value means for the client (assess needs according to quality, cost and time
criteria to separate added value and wastes) and for the company (remember that all services have to
contribute to company objective: make benefits)
4. Skills: sustain Lean system by managing competences, knowledge and talents development
5. Integration: manage and make smoother organizational interfaces (between departments, projects,
support function, suppliers, clients, …) to ensure leadership, limit complexity and malfunctioning
6. Standardization: establish standards based on experience and results obtained, PDCA will contribute
to standards too
7. PDCA: perform PDCA (Plan Do Check Act) to ensure continuous improvement

10. BearingPoint vision of Lean Management
From experience, we have developed a set of principles to design and deploy Lean systems:
•
From Gemba to Model … bottom-up approach
•
 Rather than reengineering processes into a new model, Lean is about practical problem solving ,
on-the-job with team members, identifying best practices and building model from proven
standards
PDCA concerns every management level
•
 Top, middle and operational management are involved in continuous improvement workshops
 Management supports and spreads Lean initiative, initiate mindset change
Structure Lean initiative
•
 Lean implementation starts with a pilot demonstration then is extended through on the job
training and coaching
 The more complex the organization, the more important Lean managers’ workshops are
 Formalized tools and standard best practices contribute to Lean system construction
Include change management into the Lean workstream
•
 Workshops with operating people, on the job training, games and simulation
 Communication
