    <title language="eng">Enabling digitization by implementing Lean IT</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Purpose&#13;
With the rise of digitization, IT organizations are challenged to provide efficient service delivery and offer innovative digital solutions while maintaining a constant resource capacity. To address this challenge, some IT organizations have adopted Lean Management (LM). Although LM is a standard production mode in manufacturing, it is less familiar to IT organizations. The purpose of this paper is to identify 12 lessons learned from companies who implemented LM in their IT organization (Lean IT) to free up their IT resource capacity from existing day-to-day operations so they could use it to enable their digitization strategy.&#13;
&#13;
Design/methodology/approach&#13;
A case study of two major international companies from different industries. Data were collected from 25 structured interviews.&#13;
&#13;
Findings&#13;
The lessons learned provide insights into how these companies implemented Lean IT, the potential outcomes they aimed for, what they did to achieve those outcomes, how they facilitated the implementation of Lean IT, and restrictions they encountered during the implementation.&#13;
&#13;
Research limitations/implications&#13;
The findings are based on a limited range of IT organizations.&#13;
&#13;
Practical implications&#13;
The lessons learned inform those implementing Lean IT because they explain how companies have implemented Lean IT to facilitate digitization and the benefits and pitfalls they encountered. A comparison of Lean IT and Lean Production shows that LM is transferable to IT organizations if domain specific requirements are respected.&#13;
&#13;
Originality/value&#13;
This paper reports the unique experience of companies implementing Lean IT, which can inform other companies in a similar situation.</abstract>

    <title language="deu">Einführung von Lean Management in IT-Organisationen</title>
    <abstract language="deu">In der Produktion gilt „Lean Management“ als einer der de-facto Standardmanagementansätze. Lean Management in IT-Organisationen (Lean IT) ist dahingegen in der Praxis weniger verbreitet und in der Wissenschaft kaum erforscht. Dieser Beitrag aggregiert und erweitert die Ergebnisse mehrerer Forschungsarbeiten. Dabei werden vorrangig zwei Aspekte diskutiert: (1) Ein mögliches Einführungsmodell für Lean IT. Dieses verknüpft fünf Rollen (Sponsor, Programmleiter, Navigator, Linienführungskraft und Linienexperte) mit vier Phasen (Vorbereitung, Analyse, Gestaltung und Implementierung). (2) Besondere Herausforderungen für Linienführungskräfte, die aufgrund der „bottom up“-Ausrichtung bei Lean-IT-Einführungen stark gefordert werden. Neben einer klaren Vision für die Organisationseinheit und dem Verständnis, an welcher Stelle Lean IT die Organisationseinheit konkret unterstützen kann, benötigen sie Offenheit, Veränderungswillen und die Bereitschaft Verantwortung an Mitarbeiter zu delegieren. Außerdem sollten sie über ein ausreichendes Zeitbudget für die Einführung verfügen, um ihrer gestaltenden und qualitätssichernden Funktion nachkommen zu können.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Lean Management in IT Organizations</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Lean management (LM) is well established in manufacturing organizations, and LM adoption in service organizations has recently increased. However, we lack research that focuses on the success of lean management implementations in IT organizations (lean IT). This paper contributes to knowledge of the success factors of lean IT implementation and the relative importance of each factor based on the insights of field experts. The experts identified, agreed on, and ranked 12 implementation success factors for lean IT in a Delphi study using the best/worst scaling technique. The most important factors were leadership involvement, change culture and work ethic, employee involvement, and performance management. Factors of intermediate importance were implementation facilitation, training and education, clear vision and direction, long-term focus, communication, and a holistic approach. Least important factors were existing skills, organizational changes/standardization, and financial resources. This paper contributes a more nuanced understanding of the relative importance of lean IT success factors, proposes relationships between them, and comprehensively explains how to use the rigorous best/worst scaling method in a traditional ranking-type Delphi study.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Change management lessons learned for Lean IT implementations</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Lean Management is a standard production mode that has been familiar to production organizations for several decades. To  date,  however,  academic  literature  has  presented  surprisingly  little  information  about  the  application  of  Lean Management  in  Information  Technology  (IT)  organizations,  or  what  is  called Lean  IT.  Drawing  upon  an  empirical qualitative  case  study  of  the  IT  departments  of  two  multinational  companies,  in  this  paper  we  identify  change management  lessons  learned  for  Lean  IT  implementations,  as  well  as  seven  characteristics  of  a  corresponding  change management  approach.  As  an  extension  of  our  work,  researchers  should  validate  and  expand  our  initial  findings, preferably in a quantitative setting.</abstract>
