Lean is a technique that has been proven in manufacturing, and is now beginning to be applied in IT.  Although lean involves many tools and practices, the underlying driver is the organization's ability to continually develop, coordinate and motivate its staff to create value for its customers, while coping more effectively than any of its competitors with competition and accelerating global change.
