A Kaizen Event is a 3-5 day workshopping event that is directed toward a specific goal for the improvement of a process.
There are several benefits of hosting a Kaizen Event:
1. Problem-solving from the bottom up
In a Kaizen Event, teams are able to apply their most creative thinking to the roadblocks that are hindering processes. This requires a strong bridge between leadership and the people that do the day-to-day work, as well as a unified agreement on strategy implementation. This makes everyone better at their roles in a company from the bottom up.
2. Lab-style learning
If you remember what a slog your science classes were, you may also remember how the information sunk in much better when you got to do the labs. A Kaizen Event provides a similar sort of hands-on learning.
3. Collaboration
With a Kaizen Event, the effort is concentrated on the 3-5 day period in a very collaborative setting. This teaches collaboration amongst departments where there might not be previously.
Kaizen Culture
Kaizen is loosely translated from the Japanese language as “change for the betterment,” and Kaizen culture puts a focus on continual improvement and finding ways to change routines that will result in betterment over the short and long term.
