This is the idea we tried to capture with the Tech-Enabled Network of Teams principle in The Lean Tech Manifesto: leveraging tech innovation to reduce the need for coordination between teams and increase autonomy at scale.

The result: a big update in their design takes them days instead of months, the industry standard. The result is safer, thanks to the automated checks and the lack of copy-pasting errors.
And the teams can focus on real value, creating ingenious technology to reduce greenhouse gas emissions

This allows them to make multiple changes a day and even automate the verification of engineering and regulatory requirements.

The best implementation I have seen of this is at Jimmy Energy, which are building micro nuclear reactors to decarbonise industrial heat. Their whole system is modeled using Python and all the changes are synchronised using Github.

The digital-modeling approach of Model-Based Systems Engineering creates a single source of truth for the system on which every team can autonomously contribute, while technology enables seamless synchronisation.

Every time one stakeholder changes a requirement in one document, it requires every other team to synchronise and manually update their documents. This makes every change slow and frustrating, as teams waste time dealing with other teams' changes rather than think about the best technical solutions

The old way is the document-based approach: many documents are generated by different teams to capture the system's design from various stakeholder views, such as software, hardware, safety, manufacturing, etc.

If that instant feedback helps them save iterations, there is a real impact on overall lead time, and therefore productivity at organisational level.

A good example is the interaction between a team doing work and a team validating that work - think compliance teams for example. If you can clone part of their expertise into an AI twin that does a decent first pass, the first team can get instant feedback on how valid their work is.

It's the "Tech-Enabled Network of Teams" principle: finding ways technology can increase team autonomy, by removing or reducing dependencies with other teams in the organisation.

That's why I prefer looking at the uses of AI that don't just increase individual productivity but change the way teams collaborate.

One of the take-away that stood out during Q&A were the regular gemba walks from Nicolas, to "go and see" what really happens on the ground and discuss with the teams to better understand the problems they face and the potential opportunities for customers.

Congratulations to everyone who worked hard to achieve those results, from the initial PGE platform to successful scale!

After this incredible success, we shared the challenges the organisation faced to maintain agility while scaling to 300 people, and the Lean Tech countermeasures that were implemented.
The results 5 years later are impressive:
- 89% client satisfaction
- 40 deployments per day
- 50+ employee NPS

It all started with an initial team of 10 that unexpectedly ended up at the heart of the Covid response in March 2020. When lockdown hit, they were given 5 days to build the PGE (Prêt Garanti par l'État) platform, to help businesses across France with 1 billion € of state-guaranteed loans.
