Value Stream Mapping - Improving Product Workflows.

The goal for each process in our digital product should be to produce value with as little waste as possible. How do we visualize complex systems to identify potential areas of waste? In talk 4 of 9 in this lean design series, product designer Aaron Kleid shows us how the relationship between supplier, processor, and customer can inform our design decisions.

Nice presentation. Love the gifs.

I know this presentation is focussed on digital products and I see why you started there, but you said (at the beginning) that the CEO will say "I want some software." Unless it's a technology company or some startup, I beg to differ. He/she will frame their problem in business terms, strategic vision, the bottom line etc. I guess I'm a little wary of technologists positioning models/frameworks/mappings as a solution to business problems. When addressing business problems it can often feel like we say, "The answer is software. What's the question?" As Steve Blank put it, we need to "get out of the building". Our widespread success and sustained credibility is contingent on this. I'll step off that soapbox now. PS: your gifs are excellent!
