Lean it 101 · Strategy · Engineering · Platforms
From strategy on a whiteboard to software in production.
One firm carries the whole path: executives align on strategy, senior pods direct AI agents to build it, and every step stays visible on one board. The platforms we sell, we built this way.
Start with one workflow. We reply within one business day.

From business pain to working software in production
The track record behind the work
Lean it 101 has operated in complex software and transformation contexts for over a decade. US$9M+ in documented savings, 80% support tickets reductions, and legacy platforms rebuilt for scale sit behind every engagement.
Services
From strategy to engineering.
Strategy executed, operations moving faster, software in production. Six lines of work to get you there.
Strategy
Hoshin Kanri from executive workshop to a plan your teams actually run.
Workshops
Value stream mapping, process redesign and Lean foundations, facilitated to a decision.
Software delivery and AI
Software delivery rebuilt for the agent era under the Lean Pyramid 6.0.
Discovery
Legacy assessments and AI discovery that end in numbers, sequence and a probe.
FDE pods
One to three senior engineers directing agents, from problem to production.
Recurring
Executive advisory, board counsel and coaching that keep the system sharp.
Two ways to work with us
Forward Deployed Engineering
Bring us one workflow.
Senior engineers embed in your operation, learn how it actually works, and ship reliable software into production. AI opportunities, legacy systems, and the bottlenecks stuck between business and engineering.
- Senior builders embedded with your team, accountable end to end
- Legacy systems, AI features, and stalled prototypes taken to production
- The people who understand the problem are the people who build it
Benjamin · our flagship product
The AI support platform we built.
Customer support and operational workflows across web chat, WhatsApp, and email. Grounded in your knowledge, with human escalation when judgment is needed.
- Grounded in your knowledge base and your workflows
- Works across web chat, WhatsApp, and email
- Escalates to a human with full conversation context preserved
Benjamin is the platform we built while doing this work. When it fits your problem, you start ahead. When it does not, we build the right thing.
How it runs
Work you can watch, forecasts you can trust.
Our work runs on the Lean Pyramid 6.0 and stays visible in Maestro: honest forecasts, decisions waiting on named people, agents whose work arrives verified. This is the actual deck, on our demo workspace.

The firm
A firm built like its own operating model
Small at the center, structured to scale: senior judgment where it matters, agent labor where it multiplies.
Founder and Principal
Thirty years of software, twenty of Lean and transformation, on every engagement.
Advisory Board
Independent counsel around the firm. Being formed and announced name by name.
Senior Engineering Partners
The practitioners who staff pods, accountable end to end.
The agent workforce
Teams of agents under Maestro governance, doing the heavy lifting, always verified.
The depth behind the work
Built on a decade of real operational work.
Before Benjamin, Lean it 101 led transformation programs at Vale, Softplan, Ambev and other enterprise software companies. The practice was shaped inside the global Lean and Agile community, including five years on the Agile Alliance board of directors in the United States, working alongside the people who defined modern software delivery. That depth is what you hire when you bring us a problem, and what Benjamin is built on.
