We’re not Japanese and we don’t build cars | Agile Zone

In 1979 a group
of western dignitaries visited Japan to learn more about the manufacturing
models that had been applied to great success. Konosuke Matsushita, the
president of Matsushita Corporation (Panasonic, Legend, Technics etc.), opened
his talk with the famous statement….“We are going to
win and the industrial west is going to lose: there’s nothing much you can do
about it, because the reasons for your failure are within yourselves. Your
firms are built on the Taylor model; even worse, so are your heads. For you,
the essence of management is getting the ideas out of the heads of the bosses
and into the hands of labour. We are beyond the Taylor model.”.

This is a good article that summarizes Lean and IT and how it fits into a business as a whole. Now, I post up a lot of stuff that is Lean Customer Development, which should not be confused with pure Lean, but more of an application of it.
Richard Durnall is the writer of this article, he has an excellent (perhaps not so active) blog about this area http://www.richarddurnall.com/ if you are interested in learning more.
