Next week, I will be co-blogging with 6 kaizen and project management experts on the topic of kaizen and workteams. Kaizen, if you have never heard the term, is a Japanese-developed methodology for continuous, incremental improvement. Here's a wikipedia link, if you want to learn more about it.
This unique collaboration is being led by Hal Macomber, author of the Reforming Project Management blog (Hal did a brief bio sketch on me yesterday, which you can read here). Hal is announcing each blogger during this week, so I don't want to steal his thunder. But I can tell you that one of our "Gang of Seven" is Norman Bodek, author of the highly regarded book The Idea Generator: Quick & Easy Kaizen. Another one is Jon Miller, an expert on lean management and a frequent writer on kaizen events.
I have been asked to provide the innovation perspective on kaizen. If any of you readers have some insights you'd like me to consider incorporating into my blog posts next week, please send me a feedback message. |
