ITIL DPI applies Lean principles such as the elimination of waste. Repeated reassignments and delays in incident handling represent a form of waste in workflow. Improving accuracy of escalation removes unnecessary handoffs and accelerates resolution, optimizing flow. This aligns with Lean-inspired waste elimination. OCM (D) is about managing people through change, not fixing workflow inefficiencies.
