Company Profile
LeanWorking is a company that specialises in leading change and transformation within organisations using techniques drawn from the Agile, Lean, Collaboration and Productivity disciplines.
Our approach is to offer short-to-midterm transformation services, whilst simultaneously training up your own people to take your company forward.
LeanWorking specialises in a mix of product development methodologies, knowledge worker practices and personal productivity. Applied together, these techniques help to create truly focused teams, through qualifying and targeting high value work, shorter cycle times, higher throughput and continuously reducing waste.
Company History
LeanWorking was started by Paul Eastabrook in 2009 after ten years working in the City of London for some of the world's most powerful financial institutions.
In his professional career up until starting LeanWorking, Paul had consistently been building and transforming internationally distributed teams. As an established practitioner of eXtreme Programming, Scrum (CSM) & Lean (including Kanban), quite often he was of the opinion that there was more to great teams than their understanding of these things, indeed, even if they were mature in their adoption. Often it was the collaboration efforts, the team attitude to creating positive outcomes for all parties and the teams/individuals abilities to handle knowledge work outside of the work covered off by the processes which was what differentiated them.
Having trialed the ideas over a number of client engagements as an independent contractor and consulting with fellow professionals, Paul decided it was time to do something about it - LeanWorking was born.
Recently LeanWorking has completed a transformation with a Tier 1 Investment Bank, and has started forming a new team and undertaking a Lean transformation with Trader Media Group.
LeanWorking is continuing to explore new ideas with key Agile, Lean, Collaboration and Personal Productivity partners, such as Modus Cooperandi.
LeanWorking is currently contributing to community efforts and in the process of publishing a number of white papers with our Partners.
