Abstract: This paper illustrates that Lean and digitalisation cultural transformation can sustain each other. It provides academic as well as practical experiences in the fields of engaging employees and extended enterprise. Maintaining the necessary energy to sustain the Toyota Production System (TPS) company-wide transformation is challenging and demanding. Digitalisation will support the culture change, but also runs the risk of diverting the focus of the company from customer-centricity and leadership proximity to technology driven. The Lean journey may therefore be penalised.
