Kaizen Mindset Continuous improvement as an inner need and a habit – like breathing...   Everything can and should be improved ‒ look for improvement opportunities constantly and pursue them creatively and proactively. Vadim Kotelnikov Inventor Author Founder   Deep Immersion in Continuous Improvement Continuous improvement mindset is a deep-seated, often unconscious, desire or inner need that drives relentless search for improvement opportunities and related actions.   Everything can and should be improved ‒ look for opportunities! ~ Vadim Kotelnikov   6Ws of the Kaizen Wheel Kaizen and Management Kaizen and Innovation Kaizen Implementation 7 Conditions for Kaizen Implementation Kaizen Culture  →  8 Components Suggestion System  →  Empowerment   If you stop learning, you stop creating history and become history. If you are not getting better, you are getting worse. ~ Vadim Kotelnikov   Kaikaku and Kazen are two parts of the whole, like Yin and Yang. Kaikaku and Kaizen waltz up along a virtuous spiral of continuous improvement.     Kaizen is focused on incremental improvements. Kaikaku is focused on radical improvements. Keep in your beautiful mind though that radically-improved objects tend to return to their original state if a radical improvement (Kaikaku) is not followed with small continuous improvements (Kaizen).       Beware of Metaphorical Cemeteries       Good-enoughs are cemeteries of the bests and the continuous improvement mindset. Blames are cemeteries of intrinsic motivation. Giving-ups are cemeteries of breakthroughs and victories.       How to use this information       ① "Adapt what is useful, reject what is useless, and add what is specifically your own." ~ Bruce Lee ② Sleep on this information – your powerful superconscious mind will tell you how to use it when you wake up   Slides   Continuous Improvement Firm   Notes
