The same lean and agile principles that have changed the way software is developed are now helping companies with the people side of change.

To find out what this means in reality, Dawna Jones talks to Lean Sensei Daniel Stoelb about what he's learned from working with change in organizations for over thirty-five years and how the principles used in business can apply and support local change initiatives and how we utilize our resources.
