ExECuTIvE SummArY
Forrester interviewed the executives responsible or the deployment o the Lean continuous
improvement initiative at Wipro echnologies, a global supplier o technology services. Te case
study shows that Lean can become an important dierentiator or I service organizations, striving to
partner with their business customers and increase the stake in business transormations. Organizations
embarking on the journey to Lean should ollow Wipro’s staged approach centered on the deployment
o a Lean productivity team (or center o expertise) and unied Lean tool kit and perormancemeasurement system. But in addition to these tangible steps, many organizations will need to push aside
a ew so barriers that risk making Lean eorts stagger or stall: 1) skepticism about what Lean really is;
2) lack o leadership; and 3) silo culture.

BARRIeRs TO LeAn
Lean’s dual ocus on increasing business value and eliminating waste made it one o the most
popular business perormance improvement approaches o the last decade.1 Lean’s most amous
case study, the oyota Production System (PS), has been broadly studied and celebrated as
paradigm change rom Ford’s mass production to PS’ mass customization in the automotive
industry.2 Since its original publication in 1990, Lean’s continuous improvement process and
tools have been adopted across dierent industries as diverse as chemicals, nance services and
healthcare — with dierent degrees o success. In particular, the sustainability o the Lean in
industries with predominantly human-centric activities and/or less mature business processes has
been a continuing debate. Research supported by examples rom companies o dierent sizes and
operating in dierent sectors — rom global manuacturers to local providers o public services —
has identied a ew common barriers to Lean:3
· Skepticism about what Lean really is. Lean best practices emphasize continuous improvementat all levels o the organization. Yet case studies reveal broad skepticism about how executives
and sta perceive Lean: Sta workers see it as just cutting headcounts and reducing costs.
Managers and “middle” managers, busy with day-to-day operations, perceive it as a distraction
rom “real work”. And senior executives, instead o getting involved, delegate the responsibility
or Lean initiatives to consultants and methodology experts, who oen have limited inuence in
the organization.
· Lack of leadership. When the link between Lean’s implementation and the organization’s
strategy is weak, the embedding o a continuous improvement process cannot succeed in the
longer term. Case studies reveal that the goals o many Lean programs are not clear, and the
basic questions that senior managers should answer upront are not addressed: why Lean is
implemented; what drives the initiative; what change to the process is expected; and what
commitments management is prepared to make.
· Silo culture and measures. Perormance management systems based on individual and
departmental indicators encourage sta and managers to ocus on local optimizations and
compete internally, rather than collaborate or the benet o customers and the organization.
Te case studies show that disengagement and attempts to undermine continuous improvement
are higher in rms, which operate with compartmented structures and measures, than in
organizations that encourage collaboration and improvement as the means to an end.
WIPRO DemOnsTRATes HOW TO ImPLemenT LeAn AnD OveRcOme ITs BARRIeRs
Forrester conducted research to understand how executives implement Lean-style perormance
improvements around the delivery o I services. In an October 2009 Forrester report, “What
CIOs Should Know About Lean,” we discussed how several CIOs approached Lean to streamline
captive I organizations and eliminate waste; however, those CIOs did not reveal any spectacular

oyota-style implementations o Lean.4 But the Wipro echnologies (“Wipro”) case study presented
in the next section deals with a ull implementation o Lean. It is the story o a large I services
organization that adopted Lean as a source o competitive advantage to sustain its low-cost, high-
quality strategy while growing rapidly.
La’ Fll Ipltatio At Wipro spport Bi expaio
Wipro, a global company headquartered in Bangalore, provides I services to 840 active customers
in multiple verticals including banking, retail, manuacturing, healthcare, energy, utilities, and
transportation. In 2009, the I services business crossed the 100,000-employee mark, tripling
the number o employees rom 2005.5 At that time, Wipro Chairman Azim Premji announced
that the company was implementing Lean and expected to derive competitive advantage rom it.6
History shows that Wipro was able to ulll its chairman’s expectation. Since 2004, the company
has continuously developed its own Lean ramework and has applied its continuous improvement
process and tools into a strategic capability with goals to:
· Dynamically reposition its portfolio of services for growth and innovation. Five years
ago Wipro competed as an outsourced provider o technical services, completing about 1,100
soware projects yearly — about 75% o them oshore and 25% at customer’s locations. Eighty
percent o these projects were perormed on a time-and-material basis, and 20% were xed-
price contracts. oday the company perorms more than 4,000 projects. Almost 45% o its
contracts are xed-price. But more importantly, the company is shiing its service ocus rom
executing soware projects to a consultative approach aimed to increase the share o system
integration, business process outsourcing and transormational engagements, a market where
the availability o Lean insights and capabilities is becoming a critical success actor.7
· Sustain its market position as low-cost, high-quality service supplier. At Wipro, compliance
with quality assurance standards has been critical or its reputation and success. o deend its
position against other Indian and international service companies competing on low wages,
Wipro has constantly renovated its delivery processes and trained its sta based on the most
advanced quality initiatives and control models o the time, such as ISO 9000, CMMI, and
Six Sigma.8 Since 2004, Wipro has continuously increased the number o Lean engagements
(see Figure 1). During a recent brieng, Wipro reported that or the I business, 30, 000 out o
approximately 55,000employees are covered through Lean, and or the BPO business, 4,000 out
o approximately 26,000 employees are covered through Lean.9

La At Wipro spport Bi soltio Byod Otord softwar Dlopt
When the members o Wipro’s senior executive team decided to implement Lean in 2004, they
realized that the quality models used beore, such as CMMI and Six Sigma, were very good or
meeting soware specications but were less well suited or delivering business solutions. Te
Harvard Business School’s 2006 case study documenting the early stages o the rollout reveals that the
executive team correctly assessed Lean’s potential as a management paradigm changer and envisioned
its role as a sustainable process, rather than the next quality initiative.10 During a recent Forrester
brieng with Wipro, we learned that since those early experimentation stages, Wipro has developed
Lean through several development phases into a mature ramework consisting o a continuous
improvement process and customized tool kit applied to projects o dierent size and complexity:
· Phase zero: Experimenting with Lean. Te implementation o Lean began with the creation
o the Lean productivity ofce (PO). Te PO’s mission was to: 1) incubate the Lean concepts;
2) transcript Lean tools and practices such as Just-In-ime (JI), Visual Control Board, Value
Stream Mapping (VSM) automation, and leveling into the I space; 3) select a ew pilot projects
or experimentation and help the project managers implementing them; and 4) measure
the tools’ impact on perormance. Only projects that could demonstrate more than 10%perormance increases on prespecied metrics (schedule, eort, or quality), were labeled as
Lean. From 2004 to 2006, when the HBS case study was published, the number o Lean projects
at Wipro grew rom 54 to more than 300.

· Phase 1: Mainstreaming Lean. Closed projects with Lean were more successul and set the
stage or the executive team to deploy Lean on a larger and more ormal basis. Te sta in
the PO grew gradually rom 10 in 2005 to 25 today. Tis Lean center o excellence (CoE)
is responsible or: 1) leading the deployment o oyota’s Lean practices in I services”; 2)
championing productivity, cost containment, and delivery excellence; 3) guiding project teams
through the entire course o Lean deployment; and 4) providing statistical evidence o benets
accumulated. During mainstreaming, the PO mandated the implementation o Lean tools
across more than 1,000 large and midsize projects involving greater than 100 man month (MM)
o eort and tracked their perormance.
· Phase 2: Gathering Lean momentum. Te PO team started selecting larger and more complex
projects or Lean intervention, meaning projects involving more than 200 MM. Te statistic
measurements showed that in spite o the increase in size and complexity o the projects, Lean
continued to deliver sustained perormance improvements. During this phase, the PO dedicatedadditional eort to: 1) marketing Lean via deliberate evangelization campaigns supported
through newsletters; 2) orming communities o practice; 3) creating contextual and customized
Lean workshops to address specic business needs; and 4) creating customized training
modules to cover the entire organization.
· Phase 3: aking stock. As the Lean intervention gained momentum and touched a large
number o projects, the ocus o the PO turned to cross-utilizing Lean and Six Sigma and
integrating the combined approach with other established methodologies such as Agile, the
Wipro Quality Management System, and other practices. Te goal was to move away rom
silo productivity improvements to an integrated portolio o improvement tools and correlate
them through a unied improvement process as part o project execution. Te solution was thedevelopment and implementation o an excellence index (EI) model consisting o a customized
tool kit or various project types. Te PO selected and documented the tools based on
experiential data and ranked them using weightings based on the impact seen in past projects
(see Figure 2).
· Phase 4: Measuring improvement. Te PO employed the EI model to validate the coverage
and rigor o implementing Lean. It introduced and started tracking two metrics across the
entire organization: planned EI and actual EI. While doing so, it continued to: 1) guide project
teams in selection o suitable tools (planned EI); 2) provide assistance in deployment; 3) ensure
depth and rigor with requent tenet usage reviews (actual EI). From August 2008 to December2009, the number o Lean projects that could demonstrate perormance increases by more than
10% based on prespecied metrics grew. For example, it grew in the banking sector rom 51%
to 83% (large projects) and in the telecom sector rom 13% to 72% (or medium size projects).
In addition, the PO continued to monitor the impact o dierent tools. A ew tools, such as
dependency structure matrix (DSM), statistical analysis, and orthogonal arrays contributed
signicantly to increasing business value (see Figure 3).

· Te next phase. Te PO plans to continue capturing insights about the usage and impact o the
EI tool kit and to continuously improve the rigor o the Lean process. In addition, it plans to
enhance the tool kit by experimenting with new tools and also researching new methodology
or doing projects, like the Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM). Last but not least,
Wipro is planning to arm out a consulting practice based on its unique Lean insights and
use these insights as a dierentiation actor; the company is shiing its service ocus to a
consultative approach intended to increase the share o transormational engagements.

1 Everyone wants to be lean these days, whether when stepping o a scale in the morning or reviewing the
cost o running a successul business. But just how do you dene “lean” — especially in the context o
business and technology? Do you think o Lean as a way to drive down costs or technology solutions? Or
does Lean conjure visions o streamlined business processes that deliver ever-higher levels o productivity
and quality? Or does Lean mean creating a Lean business that delivers more customer value and innovation
to compete in today’s Lean economy? We assembled some o our top analysts on this subject and put
them to the test in a no-holds-barred roundtable discussion. See the September 29, 2009, “Lean: Te New

4 When applying Lean as a perormance-improvement strategy, CIOs should consider our essential practices:
1) speciy value rom a business perspective using ve principles; 2) dene improvement goals top-down
in terms o delivery, costs, and quality; 3) implement improvements bottom-up by eliminating waste rom
processes; and 4) synchronize the top-down and bottom-up levels. CIOs should apply these practices at the
right time in the lie cycle o the perormance-improvement program to ensure that Lean outcomes can be
dened and tracked against strategic business goals. See the October 27, 2009, “What CIOs Should Know
About Lean” report.5 For the scal year ended March 31, 2010, Wipro reported $4.5 billion in revenue, representing an increase
