Augmented Lean webinar series
A ten-week practitioner series working through the method chapter by chapter, with live Q&A rather than a scripted deck.
Community
A practitioner movement, not a vendor program.
Augmented Lean spread the way lean itself did — sideways, between practitioners, through people comparing notes about what actually worked on their floor. The Field Guide is written to serve that, not to replace it.
Why it matters
Nobody does this alone
Every chapter in the Field Guide anchors on a real deployment — organizations that got it right, and some that did not. That material exists because practitioners were willing to talk openly about what happened, including the parts that are harder to publish.
The most useful conversation in this field is almost never a keynote. It is two engineers from different industries discovering they hit the same wall, and one of them already found the way around it.
01
Compare notes, not slideware
What the deployment actually cost, what broke, and what you would do differently.
02
Patterns travel, solutions don't
A whole solution rarely ports between sites. The named pattern underneath it almost always does.
03
Change agents find each other
The person doing this work is often the only one at their site doing it. They shouldn't be the only one they know.

Being built alongside the book
Planned companion work. Shared here so you know what is coming — not yet open.
Design with examples
Real deployments documented end to end — the operational flow diagram, the decisions, and the parts that had to be reworked.
Chapter exercises & support material
Per-chapter exercises and supplementary material for teams reading the guide together — the way it is meant to be used.
Composable Agent Exchange
A curated catalog of operational AI agents and the multi-agent solutions they compose into, organized by where in the value stream each agent works, with the oversight and validation each one needs on the floor.
