1.2 Acknowledgements
Our approach to Lean Change Management is still
evolving. It was initially based on our work with
Jeff Anderson and his LEAN Service Offering team
at Deloitte, but has been transformed in the light
of our ongoing experience. Everyone listed in the
Credits section of this book played a role in the
development of our ideas. The content of the book
itself was put together by myself and the team of
Agile Coaches that I worked with in 2012 and 2013:
Andrew Annett, Bernadette Dario, Ardita Karaj and
Bilal Iqbal. We’ve been blogging and writing about
our experiences since May 2012.
As I learned more and connected with people in the
traditional change management and organizational
development communities, I found others who have
been experimenting with feedback-driven approaches
to change.
The references section at the end of the book contains
links and information from many change practition-
ers who have tried alternate methods to bringing
change into their organizations and with their clients.

2.1 Where Lean Change
Management Comes
From
within organizations.
Insights:
• Generate insights from a variety of Agile meth-
ods, like retrospectives, or from a classic change
management instrument such as a Prosci AD-
KAR®⁴ assessment. ADKAR® is a core compo-
nent of a larger change management method-
ology created by Prosci which we review in
Chapter 2. However, using only the ADKAR®
component of the model can still help you gen-
erate Insights, as we demonstrate in Chapter 3.
• As you generate Insights, cluster them to look
for patterns. Those will feed your list of Op-
tions.
• Keep in mind you’ll likely generate tons of data.
Filter this using use any technique that fits your
situation.

Options:
• Insights must be transformed into Options for
taking action. There’s a value/cost trade-off
discussion that happens here, e.g.:
• Options that are low value and high cost can be
taken off the table right away.

What’s “Minimal” To
You
…might not be for someone else. Aiming
for MVCs helps you get into a mindset
of trying to make micro-changes instead
of big-bang changes, but you can never
know for sure how disruptive a change
will be until you try it.
