Lean Kanban at Ria Money Transfer
Madrid, April 21st 2015
We are Ria…
The third largest money transfer company in the world and part of an
industry that moves more than $500 billion each year.
Ria exists thanks to the dreams of some 232 million international
migrants that left their homes in search of something more.
Many don’t have access to traditional banking services, so we provide a
secure, reliable and affordable way for them to send money home to
their loved ones.

Larman's Laws Of Organizational Behavior
• Organizations are implicitly optimized to avoid changing the
status quo middle- and first-level manager and “specialist”
positions & power structures.
• Corollary: any change initiative will be reduced to redefining or
overloading the new terminology to mean basically the same
as status quo.
• Corollary: any change initiative will be derided as “purist”,
“theoretical”, “revolutionary”, and “needing pragmatic
customization for local concerns” - which deflects from
addressing weaknesses and manager/specialist status quo.
• Culture follows structure.
Continuous improvement?
