Effective Continuous Improvement: Harnessing the Kaizen

Effective Continuous Improvement: Harnessing the Kaizen Approach to Create a System for Effective Change (The Business Productivity Series Book 10)
Is Your CI Delivering Results?

Continuous Improvement, or CI, is a heavily used term that often doesn't deliver the results that are hoped for. Common approaches to CI often focus on supporting businesses to eliminate their immediate problems and just become 'OK' in terms of business performance. However, most people find that it is much more difficult to use these same approaches to move from 'good' to 'excellent'. Furthermore sustaining the improvement approach can be difficult if you donâ€™t have some kind of systematic approach.

A Simple Systems Approach

From his past work with clients who have previously struggled to make the move from 'good' to 'excellent', Giles Johnston, a business improvement consultant, has devised a simple method to systematically generate new improvements ideas. Even if your team have never heard of â€˜lean manufacturingâ€™ or â€˜kaizenâ€™ before, this approach can help your staff to identify and generate ideas that can streamline, simplify and improve your business. From the most junior person to the most senior within your business this simple and straightforward approach can provide new insights and ideas almost immediately.
