The seven senses of an IT organization
HeptaMS sorts the jungle of methods along seven senses with which an organization perceives and steers its environment. Not another framework - the layer above.
Strategy and focus instead of activity.
Self-organization with accountability.
Value stream instead of utilization.
A rhythm that fits the work.
Reliable operations without bureaucracy.
From idea to production.
Extending your delivery capability.
Why AI forces organisations to get lean
Artificial intelligence lowers the cost of doing, not the cost of deciding. The bottleneck does not disappear, it moves: into approval, review and alignment. That is a flow problem, not a tooling problem, and flow is exactly what Lean has worked on for seventy years.
Then comes the second shift. Anyone who lets an agent loose on a real system is developing software, even if the org chart says “accounting”. That department inherits every problem software teams had to solve over twenty years, and none of the answers.
