The way HE organizations are structured funded and function globally is idiosyncratic; one size is unlikely to fit all. However the sector is also dynamic and a mature understanding of lean as a philosophy led by principles suggests there are many ways HE could grow through lean. This collection of work reflects the state-of-the-art in the global practical application of lean for higher education. It aims to demonstrate the diverse applications of lean in universities inspiring others to deeply engage with lean thinking in their own unique context and to drive successful sustainable lean work. Contributors are both well-known experts in lean HE and up-and-coming practitioners. Authors live globally in countries such as Australia Canada Malaysia Poland the UK and the USA. They represent higher education environments from applied teaching institutions to research-focused universities from 50 years old to more than 800 years old. The collection focuses on lean applied across universities as a whole often addressing the administrative support or professional services side of how these institutions work. The application of lean is not limited purely to the administration of such organizations but is applied to the primary purpose of universities: teaching and research. This volume is not focused on lean theory. Instead it discusses how HE institutions have taken lean forward and the lessons learned that others can share and learn from. It is composed of six sections: Starting out People Projects Technology Sustaining Lean and Culture. The rich and wide perspectives in this book will enable the reader to understand the many ways that lean thinking is applied in higher education globally.
