Kaizen
Dip into this Klaxoon template kit made of 7 simple and effective Kaizen methods. You will discover how to improve your management and your team performance with easy tasks. Repeated on a daily basis, they will become routines that will bring profound changes to your teamwork.
The Kaizen system, first implemented in the 1950s in Toyota plants in Japan, is a management approach aimed at solving problems and optimizing working methods through small daily changes. The lean Kaizen approach, where “kai” means “change” and “Zen” means “good”, focuses on continuous improvement.
In this kit of 7 well-known and less well-known Kaizen methods, you can take inspiration to improve your teamwork, by taking simple and inexpensive concrete action. The aim is to work as a team to make small improvements day by day, be it for your organization as a whole or in your shared work environment.
For example, here is what you can do with this set of templates:
Thanks to these proven methods, it’s easy to improve both your team performance and your management!
To improve the performance of your organization, you can choose to make radical changes. Sure, they can prove spectacular, but they also might be unsustainable because they disrupt too many processes at once. Or, you can try the Kaizen methodology, which focuses on small actions repeated every day for lasting and profound change.
As well as using it in your project management and your team management, the Kaizen approach lets each member of the team get involved in the changes to be made and take ownership of them. This is because these changes are applied gradually, one step at a time. This makes employee well-being and, in turn, customer well-being going from strength to strength.
What’s more, this also leads to improving your performance constantly, as you are optimizing your processes on a daily basis. Through Kaizen, you end up saving time, reducing delivery time for your projects or products, and improving your teamwork!
Finally, Kaizen methods can be used in any type of team. Originally used in industry, they are now commonly used in all other sectors such services or business. And even if you’re working remotely, you can use them to boost your own personal effectiveness. So go on, give it a try!
