MPS or Managed Print Services according to Ken Steward of Change Forge is a management technique that involves three steps:
- Consolidation – consolidate resources to be able to manage them easily
- Standardization – look for that common ground to create a unified procedure across the enterprise
- Governance – hold people accountable for their actions and ensure results
After taking these three steps, you are now ready to embark on your Lean Six Sigma journey. These prepare you for the task of streamlining platform support and production techniques. As Steward said, these are not new concepts and people in management have probably known this, but they just needed to be educated about it more.
Steward was able to roll out Lean Six Sigma after he underwent the three steps of MPS.
