Change & Continuous Improvement: See Your Future State Through a Lean Lens

 From Angela Knobloch, FST Change Management & Continuous Improvement Workstream Lead

How to use a Lean lens 
to create an efficient and effective future-state process


To achieve transformation, our future-state processes need to move beyond “lift and shift,” where we merely improve the automation of a transaction. As you’re examining processes, think about the future-state considerations below:
  • Minimize waste(What’s really necessary?)
  • Create uninterrupted flow(How can we keep the process moving?)
  • Leverage value-added activity(What do the end users care about?)
  • Error-proof(How might we eliminate the potential for mistakes?)
  • Question assumptions(Why are we doing it this way now?)
  • Achieve desired results(What is the ultimate goal of this process?)
