The Ohio State University Fisher College of Business Center of Excellence is proud to partner with member Nationwide Insurance to bring you a new, innovative series of programming focused on the role lean thinking can play in the world of information technology. Registration is officially open for the first event, a morning with Mike Orzen, a lean IT guru with more than 25 years’ experience consulting and co-author of the book Lean IT.
Orzen will outline the value lean can bring to IT with a wide-ranging presentation packed with case studies and deployment strategies. The event is free.

This presentation focuses on IT operations and the challenges they face while addressing the reality of limited time, money and resources. The core principles of Lean are applied to ITSM including waste, flow, value streams, and perhaps most importantly A3 thinking. Several examples are provided to move from theory to application and to clarify how these ideas can be successfully applied when the audience returns to their business. More Information.

"Enabling the Flow of Value Through Quality Information"
AME Roadshow Flyer 2011Event Overview
This workshop presents the next level of thinking in leveraging IT.

Lessons learned will support IT staff to become key enablers of process improvement within IT Operations and the organization as a whole.
What is Lean IT and why should I attend this workshop?
In today's world, very little occurs without the flow of information. IT is the nervous system of most organizations, yet too often IT is a barrier to process improvement and the efficient flow of information. When information is incomplete, inaccurate, late or difficult to access, we pay a huge price. Most companies discover their current IT processes comprise as much as 80% waste – non-value added services that consume time, money and resources but deliver only marginal usefulness. Lean IT applies to principles, systems and tools of process improvement to create quality information and leverage technology with one goal: to flow value to the customer!
