6. What’s their “Secret Sauce?”
• To survive and thrive, leaders must simultaneously create,
operate and trade*.
• That is, build new offerings and trade existing ones at the pace
of the market, without losing control.
• Does the solution lie in combining Lean with Agile to run
customer-focused experiments in a controlled, disciplined
fashion?

8. So, Let’s Build on Agile via The Lean Enterprise
• Lean focus on people and teamwork at every level
• Experimental problem-solving, by exploring
solutions, testing assumptions, and getting feedback
from real users
• Leading and managing large-scale programs in a way
that empowers employees, increases the speed and
quality of delivery, and lowers costs
• Implement DevOps and Lean Startup concepts, even
in complex, regulated environments
