The magic of pull flow in IT

Through a concrete story, within the banking sector, I will explain :
– how a team leader and his 7 teammates have removed all incidents of a critical application in 6 months,
– how they multiplied per 3 their productivity using the two pillars of the Toyota Production System to deliver corrections faster, with the best level of quality ever,
– and eventually how they progressively moved from a reparation work to a value added work.

About Pierre

I am an expert in Lean Management with specialties in improving performance within IT departments. I am passionate in helping and engaging management and teams better serve their customers by delivering the highest level of quality just in time at the lowest cost for the company. I am convinced that improving performance is by acting directly on the ground with operational staff helping to implement the business strategy which means: – Nurturing constantly a top down and a bottom up approach to align work on the business strategy, – Developing motivation and engagement for everyone to achieve his own job to implement this strategy and delight its customer. – Developing intense collaboration among and across teams to improve quality and reduce lead time through rigorous problems solving. I have a strong background in software development and Agile practices including extreme programing, software craftsmanship and devops. I started my learning journey in 2001 at Nokia when I introduced the Agile way of working in my team. Together we built amazing products and developed great tools to enable continuous integration and continuous delivery with tremendous results in terms of quality and speed. But it was not enough to sustain the growth in this emerging Telecom market. So, in 2008 I turned myself toward a new way of working: lean and the Toyota Production System. Today I am working with my customers on combining agile with lean to develop exceptional people to build better products faster.

Google leiðin

Í þessum fyrirlestri ætla ég að fara yfir hvernig kúlturinn er uppbyggður hjá Google, og hvernig ég hef upplifað hann á þeim árum sem ég hef starfað hjá fyrirtækinu. Ég ætla að ræða hvernig fyrirtækið byggir upp umhverfi sem ýtir undir nýsköpun, hvernig við vinnum að stefnumótun, frammistöðumati og hvernig áherslur eru hjá stjórnendum innan fyrirtækisins. Hvernig án góðra starfsmanna væri fyrirtækið ekki á þeim stað þar sem það er núna og því lykilhlutverki sem stjórnendur gegna til að viðhalda þessu umhverfi og auðvelda líf starfsmanna sinna.

Um Kristinn

Kristinn vinnur í öryggismálum hjá Google, þar sem hann hefur verið undanfarin sjö ár. Kristinn byrjaði hjá Google árið 2011 sem hluti af innbrotaviðbragsteyminu þeirra, þar sem hann sá um viðbrögð og rannsóknir á innbrotum inn í tölvukerfi Google. Hann færði sig fljótlega yfir í stjórnendastöðu þar sem hann stýrði bæði innbrotaviðbragðateyminu ásamt öðrum teymum innan “detection and response”  innan Bandaríkjanna. Sem stjórnandi þá fókusaði hann á að rækta starfsmenn sína í starfi, og finna nýtt fólk til að stækka og viðhalda teyminu ásamt áætlunargerð, stefnumótun og öðrum stjórnendahlutverkum. Núna er Kristinn kominn aftur til Íslands, í fjarvinnu við rannsaka og bregðast við tölvuinnbrotum og öðrum tölvuglæpum. Fyrir Google starfaði Kristinn sem öryggisráðgjafi hjá Skyggni, síðar meir Nýherja og hjá Arion Banka. Kristinn er með M.Sc gráðu frá Institut National des Telecommunications (INT, núna Telecom & Management) í París og B.Sc gráðu úr rafmagns- og tölvuverkfræði frá Háskóla Íslands.

Italian designers go for standards!

It is not possible to give a time to creativity, right? Creativity is the eternal justification to disorganization and loose of process control, leading to inefficient use of skilled resources and dramatic profit thinning.
Why is it like this? Creative jobs are required for developing customized projects and create innovative products. Can we do something to give a discipline to the most important functions in our companies? Why cannot we organize it as a production line?
In our session, we are going to explore the case of an Italian interior design firm that is undergoing a major transformation in the interior design function.
We will introduce their starting point and share the mistakes they have done. Then we will see what improvement they are bringing to processes, as well the key roles required for the new organization.

From the garage to manufacturing

This presentation will give you an insight of how Mikael and his team succeeded with a lean transformation of Permobil Production from a situation where customers were furious, performance low and the future for the operations not so promising. During the first 10 years of Permobil production, everything was based on low cost and bringing in friends friends to pitch in to meet the ever-growing demand for Permobils Products. This worked very well for the first couple of years but in 2010 something needed to happen. This presentation will share examples of common pains of many growing companies and how Mikael and his team has dealt with them through Lean Leadership.

About Mikael

Mikael is VP of Production at Permobil in Sweden, a lean neard and passionate to create great companies through people involvement and lean thinking. Since 2013 he has been responsible for, and working on transforming Permobil Productions business, going from pure passion and chaos to an industry leading set up for assembly of Power Wheelchairs. The journey has been remarkable and in 2017, Permobil Production was awarded the Swedish Lean Award. “I think many small to mid-size companies can find inspiration in the journey we have done”, says Mikael and continues. “Many manufacturing companies who start small and reaches success, eventually hits a point where the garage-model cracks and you have reached the limits of what is possible to achieve with only passion and entrepreneurship. Something else is needed and I will talk about how we dealt with the fact that our garage model had reached its limits. Going from chaos to a reliable business partner that enables profitable growth.”
