About the Author
Hi, I'm Mirko Kleiner the creator of lean-agile procurement (short LAP). Begin of 2016 I asked myself if procurement couldn't be more fun and lean, in other words just pure agile?-It's my personal pleasure to tell you, that LAP is this new option for procurement!
To give you some insights about me, I'm co-founder of flowdays and owner of WAI.O.BLUE and work as an independent agile coach and ad interim manager. I've long been an avowed Agilist (Agile Evangelist), but also flexible if necessary to adopt to the given surrounding conditions. After over 14 years of professional experience in various positions in distributed organizations, large-scale projects and different cultures (India, Russia, Serbia, Romania, West-EU), I know the challenges of sourcing, setup and management of distributed agile organizations. In current sourcing approaches I miss the balance between business value, time to market and corporate culture.
