lean & agile

At wikiflow, we support organizations to transform their Lean & Agile mindset and processes by designing & co-leading the implementation of a unique phased deployment model, including executive engagement, organisation readiness, building the foundations, transforming for excellence and delivering world class, people focused end2end solutions. Our purpose is to help companies to achieve their cultural, environmental, sustainability and societal obligations.

The wikiflow Lean & Agile Framework is based on our founding partners’ extensive experience from driving Lean Agile transformations in large global organisations, both physical and digital. We have been developing and deploying actionable tools and best practices in digital transformation in hardware and software companies for decades — where people are the key in delivering results and make the flow happen. Wiki means “quick” or “fast” in Hawaiian and embodies the spirit of our Lean and Agile transformation solution to elevate your innovation and product delivery.
