Kainexus

We often describe Kaizen as a way of looking at the world rather than a prescription for how to achieve positive change. Kaizen thinkers seek to make small changes to operations daily in search of higher quality, more efficiency, and less waste.

Stephen Shapiro

Previously I discussed why we don’t want to ask questions that are overly abstract/broad. Today we explore why the opposite – asking questions that are too specific – can also lead to less than stellar solutions.

The Next Next

The Human Factor

Individual and organizational brains in constant, unexpected change. If you are like many, you were certain in April that by June we would see a settling in to the ‘new normal’. And then in May, once again, many of us were sure that by the end of June, our norms would be reset, and we could move forward with some assurances of what was to come.
