Explains how and why Kanban offers a new approach to change
in 21st Century businesses

This book provides an understanding of what is necessary to
properly understand change management with Kanban as well as how to
apply it optimally in the workplace. The book emphasizes critical
aspects, several traps which users repeatedly fall into, and
presents some practical guidelines for Kanban change management to
help avoid these traps. The authors have organized the book into
three sections. The first section focuses on the foundations of
Kanban, establishing the technical basis of Kanban and indicating
the mechanisms required to enact change. In the second section, the
authors explain the context of Kanban change management--the
options for change, how they can be set in motion, and their
consequences for a business. The third section takes the topics
from the previous sections and relates them to the social system of
business--the goal is to guide readers in the process of
building a culture of continuousimprovement by reviewing real case
studies and seeing how Kanban is applied in various
situations.
