Praise for
Lean Enterprise
“This book is Reengineering the Corporation for the digital age. It is destined
to be the classic, authoritative reference for how organizations plan, organize,
implement, and measure their work. Lean Enterprise describes how
organizations can win in the marketplace while harnessing and developing the
capabilities of employees. Any business leader who cares about creating
competitive advantage through technology and building a culture of
innovation needs to read this book.”
— Gene Kim, co-author of The Phoenix Project: A Novel
About IT, DevOps, and Helping Your Business Win,
founder and former CTO of Tripwire, Inc.
“This book is a godsend for anyone who’s tried to change their organization
and heard: ‘It’s OK for the little guy, but we’re too big/regulated/complex to
work like that here.’ Humble, Molesky, and O’Reilly have written an easy-to-
read guide that demysties the success of Lean organizations in a way that
everyone can understand and apply. Lean Enterprise provides a pragmatic
toolkit of strategies and practices for establishing high performing
organizations. It should be required reading for every executive who
understands that we’re all in the technology business now.”
— Stephen Foreshew-Cain, COO,
UK Government Digital Service
“To thrive in the digital world, transformation must be more than technology
driven—everyone within the organization must collectively work together to
adapt. This book provides an essential guide for all leaders to change the way
they deliver value to customers.”
— Matt Pancino, CEO, Suncorp Business Services
“This is the book I’ve been waiting for—one that takes on the hardest
questions in bringing Lean approaches to the enterprise. The authors provide
solutions that are valuable even in low trust environments.”
