Kaikaku & Kaizen: Transformation and Continuous Improvement Through the Japanese Art of Business
Gaining a competitive advantage and sustaining it makes it essential to restructure business processes and improve them continuously. Grupas Gelişim's Kaikaku & Kaizen program brings together Kaikaku (radical, fundamental transformation) and Kaizen (continuous improvement in small steps), the traditional Japanese arts of business management. Kaikaku launches the transformation; Kaizen makes that transformation sustainable. In this way, a perfect balance is struck between radical change and continuous development.
Alongside conceptual foundations, the program advances with concrete application examples: transitioning to new production techniques and technologies, redesigning workflows and the supply chain, new business models; as well as 5S practices, daily huddle meetings and the PDCA (Plan–Do–Check–Act) cycle.
