Catherine Chabiron, Institut Lean France

Catherine Chabiron is the former Director of IS Governance at Faurecia, a major French industrial group. For 8 years, she has worked at the heart of the Lean transformation of Faurecia’s IS department.
 
Join Catherine's masterclass "Lean and Information Systems in today’s large corporations – what does it imply and how to manage it?" on 7 October 2015 to learn from her unique experience: The IS department of a lean corporation, sooner or later, will have to answer the question of how to contribute to the company’s overall Lean approach. This is true for both industrial and service-oriented companies. Whatever services the IS department delivers – installing or maintaining PCs, providing mail or chat services, supporting stock control or customer invoicing, assisting production or contributing to innovation – they have a direct impact on the company’s deliverables (products, services, prototypes, data, information), their quality (deliver what the customer expects, no more, no less) and costs. How to approach Lean in this context? In which IS areas should the Lean journey start? How to integrate lean in both day-to-day activities and the overall IS strategy? Is the IS department aligned with the overall company strategy? What can we learn from the fast and agile development of Web companies?
