Creating a KAIZEN™ Culture

Creating a KAIZEN™ Culture

The only thing of real importance that leaders do is to create and manage culture.”– Edgar Schein

Organization culture is a double edged sword that can either elevate an organization to world class status or reduce the most brilliant strategy to a recipe for disaster. Superior strategies, technologies and methods such as Lean, KANBAN, Six sigma, etc fail without human systems to link effective leader with engaged employees. The KAIZEN™ process when applied mindfully to organizational culture, has been proven to achieve this. Leader who create KAIZEN™ cultures enable their people to engage, innovate, adapt and sustain high performance.


KAIZEN™ should become the part of company culture. It emphasizes quality which needs gradual and perpetual improvement toward the pursuit of perfection. The basic principle of KAIZEN™ is a continuous engagement and continuous improvement of performance, products, and services; thus greater attention is paid toward the requirements of the customer. KAIZEN™ accentuates the engagement of each worker to the bigger picture concept and vision of the organization, so that they will identify themselves with the company, its culture, and objectives. The teams should believe and practice a KAIZEN™ working culture despite of industry and environmental change. KAIZEN™ helps enduring economic highs & lows, political turmoil, global market shifts, and many more potential challenges as it helps to embrace and create change. So if you are looking at Quality, commitment to Cost reduction, or Delivery performance create and manage KAIZEN™ Culture.
