The Lean Approach to Digital Transformation From Customer to Code and From Code to Customer

The Lean Approach to Digital Transformation From Customer to Code and From Code to Customer

The Lean Approach to Digital Transformation: From Customer to Code and From Code to Customer is organized into three parts that expose and develop the three capabilities that are essential for a successful digital transformation: 1. Understanding how to co-create digital services with users whether they are customers or future customers. This ability combines observation dialogue and iterative experimentation. The approach proposed in this book is based on the Lean Startup approach according to an extended vision that combines Design Thinking and Growth Hacking. Companies must become truly customer-centric from observation and listening to co-development. The revolution of the digital age of the 21st century is that customer orientation is more imperative - the era of abundance usages rate of change complexity of experiences and shift of power towards communities - are easier using digital tools and digital communities. 2. Developing an information system (IS) that is the backbone of the digital transformation – called “exponential information system” to designate an open IS (in particular on its borders) capable of interfacing and combining with external services positioned as a player in software ecosystems and built for processing scalable and dynamic data flows. The exponential information system is constantly changing and it continuously absorbs the best of information processing technology such as Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. 3. Building software “micro-factories” that produce service platforms which are called “Lean software factories. ” This “software factory” concept covers the integration of agile methods tooling and continuous integration and deployment practices a customer-oriented product approach and a platform approach based on modularity as well as API-based architecture and openness to external stakeholders. This software micro-factory is the foundation that continuously produces and provides constantly evolving services. These three capabilities are not unique or specific to this book they are linked to other concepts such as agile methods product development according to lean principles software production approaches such as CICD (continuous integration and deployment) or DevOps. This book weaves a common frame of reference for all these approaches to derive more value from the digital transformation and to facilitate its implementation. The title of the book refers to the “lean approach to digital transformation” because the two underlying frameworks Lean Startup and Lean Software Factory are directly inspired by Lean in the sense of the Toyota Way. The Lean approach is present from the beginning to the end of this book - it provides the framework for customer orientation and the love of a job well done which are the conditions for the success of a digital transformation. | The Lean Approach to Digital Transformation From Customer to Code and From Code to Customer

Value Management in Healthcare How to Establish a Value Management Office to Support Value-Based Outcomes in Healthcare

Value Management in Healthcare How to Establish a Value Management Office to Support Value-Based Outcomes in Healthcare

Nathan Tierney’s powerful storytelling is rarely seen in today’s health care business environment. We must redesign the health care delivery system-a team sport in service of patients hold it accountable with measurement to improve outcomes and quantify the resource costs over the full cycle of care. Value-based health care is a framework through which these goals are achieved and Tierney provides a detailed playbook to get your organization there. Outlined in incredible detail and clarity he presents core concepts and dives into the key metrics needed to build maintain and scale a successful value-based health care organization. Nathan shares a realistic vision of what any CEO should expect when developing their own Value Management Office. Nothing is more important to me than improving the lives of those I love. My personal mission is to create systemic change with an impact on the global stage. This playbook needs to be on the desk of every executive clinician and patient today. -Mahek Shah MD Senior Researcher and Senior Project Leader Harvard Business SchoolOur current healthcare system’s broken. The Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) predicts health care costs could increase from 6% to 14% of GDP by 2060. The cause of this increase is due to (1) a global aging population (2) growing affluence (3) rise in chronic diseases and (4) better-informed patients; all of which raises the demand for healthcare. In 2006 Michael Porter and Elizabeth Teisberg authored the book ‘Redefining Health Care: Creating Value-Based Competition on Results. ’ In it they present their analysis of the root causes plaguing the health care industry and make the case for why providers suppliers consumers and employers should move towards a patient-centric approach that optimizes value for patients. According to Porter value for patients should be the overarching principle for our broken system. Since 2006 Professor Porter accompanied by his esteemed Harvard colleague Profesor Robert Kaplan have worked tirelessly to promote this new approach and pilot it with leading healthcare delivery organizations like Cleveland Clinic Mayo Clinic MD Anderson and U. S. Department of Veteran Affairs. Given the current state of global healthcare there is urgency to achieve widespread adoption of this new approach. The intent of this book is to equip all healthcare delivery organizations with a guide for putting the value-based concept into practice. This book defines the practice of value-based health care as Value Management. The book explores Profesor Porter’s Value Equation (Value = Outcomes/ Cost) which is central to Value Management and provides a step-by-step process for how to calculate the components of this equation. On the outcomes side the book presents the Value Realization Framework which translates organizational mission and strategy into a comprehensive set of performance measures and contextualizes the measures for healthcare delivery. The Value Realization Framework is based on Professor Kaplan's ground-breaking Balanced Scorecard approach but specific to healthcare organizations. On the costs side the book details the Harvard endorsed time-driven activity based costing (TDABC) methodology which has proven to be a modern catalyst for defining HDO costs. Finally this book covers the need and a plan to establish a Value Management Office to lead the delivery transformation and govern operations. This book is designed in a format where any organization can read it and acquire the fundamentals and methodologies of Value Management. It is intended for healthcare delivery organizations in need of learning the specifics of achieving the implementation of value-based healthcare. | Value Management in Healthcare How to Establish a Value Management Office to Support Value-Based Outcomes in Healthcare
