Organizing seminar “Lean & Agile IT: beter resultaat, betrokkenheid en IT volwassenheid” (Dutch)
Posted on | August 4, 2011 | 1 Comment
I’m organizing a new seminar about creating a more effective IT organisation by using Lean & Agile principles. I’m very much looking forward to share our ideas and experiences.
We’ll be hosting this seminar on Thursday September the 15th at our Whitehorses head office in Nieuwegein, the Netherlands. It’s in Dutch and aimed at our customers or potential customers.
Hope to see you there!
Whitebook ‘Better IT results with Lean Six Sigma DMAIC’ (Dutch)
Posted on | June 17, 2011 | No Comments
My latest whitebook is published today. It’s a Dutch paper (original title: ‘Meten is weten: betere IT resultaten met Lean Six Sigma DMAIC’). As usual I’ll post an English translation soon.
I’m trying to point out that sometimes it’s better to stop theorizing and start proofing your assumptions by creating and measuring results.
