You already have the solutions to building better products more efficiently
It’s true. Your organisation didn’t get to this point without talent and dedication. Getting your products to market more quickly and reliably is a matter of creating a participatory environment and enhancing the abilities of your teams to deliver value. It’s not about rebuilding your entire organisation.
At Lean Advantage, we enable you to develop more innovative, engaged teams that understand what customers want from your products and services and are empowered to deliver them.
Even highly regulated organisations can improve agility
Nothing ignites our creativity more than the words “that’s not allowed here”. We know the complexities of regulated industries, globally distributed teams, and scaling innovation and have helped scores of enterprise-level organisations find a path to agility despite the challenges.
Find the agile approach that fits
Successful agile transformations start with finding the best approach for your organisation. One size does not fit all—that’s why we are methodology neutral. Once we gain an understanding of your needs and environment, you can tap into our network of agilists with expertise in various frameworks and methodologies.

Meet Andrea Darabos
Lean Advantage Founder and Principal
Andrea's insights into successful product development came from growing up with entrepreneurial parents and her professional experience mentoring startups.
She noticed that startups seek ongoing customer communication because it helps them understand what's valuable and how to innovate. They use analytics, automated feedback tools, and meaningful customer conversations to inform products and their delivery.
While working at an international telecom company, Andrea saw that the bootstrapping startup entrepreneurial mindset, agility, and customer connection can get lost as companies grow. These experiences motivated her to scale the customer analysis and engagement techniques that work well in lean startups for large organisations.
Her mission is to see organisations become more innovative, sustainable, and profitable by engaging all team members in the customer journey and empowering them to self-organize to deliver consistent value.
Andrea has enjoyed working with the leaders and executives of mid-sized companies and global enterprises to build agile teams and leadership through process improvements, methodologies, and logistics. Lean Advantage's clients come from diverse sectors such as technology, finance, insurance, agriculture, health, and fast-moving consumer goods. She is a frequent podcast guest and conference speaker and authored a chapter of the book Agile People Principles: Your Call to Action for the Future of Work.
“Andrea has broad yet fresh experience, can tell relevant stories and is a great facilitator.”
