In his talk from the 2018 Designing the Future summit, former Rivian COO and LEI Senior Advisor Jim Morgan discusses how Lean Product and Process Development (LPPD) serves as an enterprise activity that can engage the entire organization and improve operations and growth.

  • Design new value streams
  • Create a framework of success
  • Constantly learn and improve
  • Establish an effective management system
