At the Group Management Meeting held last week in London the importance of the TOP program and the use of Lean methodology in reinventing Atos Origin was reinforced.

Lean is enabling us to leverage the skills and creativity of all of us to do our job more efficiently, while improving quality and service to our clients. Its continued use across all our operations will give us competitive advantage to strengthen and grow Atos Origin.

Jacek Przybylski - supervisor in Poland - joined the Lean program in February 2009 and has worked in Bydgoszcz, Poland and Livingston, UK. Starting in November Jacek will be a Lean Skipper in the Netherlands.

"Joining the Lean Program has been a great opportunity for me. I have found it fascinating to be part of a global project working with an international team to transform Atos Origin.
I have learned a lot about the Lean methodology and how to successfully implement it, while also improving my own skills in project management, analysis, communication, leadership and coaching.
I would recommend the role of Lean Navigator to anybody who is looking for a new challenge and the chance to work outside of their home country."
