Sococo and LEAN Collaboration

Transforming the
FUTURE OF WORK
LEAN COLLABORATION

The concept of LEAN started in
manufacturing

Now it can
transform
team
collaboraDon

LEAN is centered on making obvious
what adds value by reducing everything
else for the beneﬁt of the team

What is Lean Thinking?
J. Womack and D. Jones translated TPS into a “Lean Thinking”
methodology based on 5 concepts
●  Value
●  Value streams
●  Flow
●  Pull
●  PerfecCon
The aim was to help any company sustain growth by aligning
customer saCsfacCon with employee saCsfacCon, whilst
minimizing waste

VALUE: Specify
the value desired
by the customer 1.

VALUE STREAMS:
IdenCfy the value
stream and
remove any
unnecessary steps
2.

FLOW: Ensure there is a
conDnuous ﬂow through
the remaining value-added
steps
3.

PULL: Introduce pull
between all steps where
conCnuous ﬂow is possible 4.

PERFECTION: ConCnually
reduce the number of steps
and Cme needed to serve the
customer
5.

LEAN PHILOSOPHY
Very simply it is a systemaCc method
for the eliminaCon of waste

Why LEAN Methodology for team
collaboraCon?

Team collaboraCon is a process of
engagements that ends in a desired
outcome

What are the key principles for LEAN
CollaboraCon?

In one direcDon
so you know, understand and support the core
purpose of the organizaCon, its key prioriCes and
goals

With the right members
by assembling the right
people to find the most
efficient and effecCve
way to solve the
challenge on behalf of
both the customer and
the company

With one voice
where the collecCve views of all team members
are considered and incorporated to ensure that
the most innovaCve and creaCve soluCon is
developed

In the moment
by bringing everyone
together in real-Cme,
without delay,
and by avoiding the latency
of delayed communicaCon
tools to ensure the quickest
delivery possible

As one team
to create a result where the successful outcome is
based on overall team eﬀort and collecCve wisdom
rather than individual performance

LEAN CollaboraDon
…. starts with human connecCon

Sococo builds ConnecDon
.. by recreaCng the personal proximity
