Lean in Finance Innovation Lab
In many industries, hands-on innovation labs already exist from McKinsey’s go-kart factories to workshops where teams build bicycles to experience teamwork and process excellence. But in the service industry, there was nothing similar: no space where professionals could experiment, learn and transform through real digital, Lean, and human-centered experiences. That’s why we created the Lean in Finance Innovation Lab a unique experiential and cultural center designed to accelerate transformation in the service sector. Our labs combine the rigor of Lean Six Sigma with the creativity of digital innovation and the responsibility of sustainability, turning abstract concepts into measurable results.
Since 2024, we have organized two successful editions in Milan:
the first focused on innovation and immersive collaboration, using virtual and augmented reality to enhance teamwork across functions; the second explored AI Agents, helping participants design their own intelligent automation solutions; the third introduced advanced process mapping and simulation using process mining technologies to visualize and optimize business performance.
In 2026, we will continue this journey with new experiential programs:
a Customer Service & Operations Excellence Lab, dedicated to end-to-end service performance; a next-generation AI Agent Lab in partnership with UiPath, empowering teams to co-create intelligent process automation and a Customer Experience Enhancement Lab focused on Salesforce AI, bringing data, empathy, and technology together to shape the future of client engagement. Each lab delivers real impact transforming how people think, collaborate, and innovate because transformation doesn’t happen in theory; it happens when people experience it.
