WHY DO CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT EFFORTS FALL SHORT?
REPORT FROM MY EXPERIENCE
o Magical Thinking
o Teams executing a PDCA cycle and forget the ‘C’
o Assumption that continuous improvement at the Team level is an innate skill
o Company Culture Doesn’t Value It…aka it doesn’t value learning

Company Culture doesn’t value Learning hence no Continuous Improvement

another

continuous fear…?

KAIZEN
TO MAKE BETTER
![Page 18: Why Continuous Improvement Programs Fail – Can Kaizen and WIP Help](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022071602/613d56eb736caf36b75c2946/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
o Kaizen enables "continuous improvement”
o Kaizen deals in the small – small thoughts, actions, and rewards
o Small change avoids fear response
o Many small changes can quickly result in big change without the overhead
o Roots in TWI

WHY KAIZEN WORKS
“All changes, even positive ones, are scary. Attempts to reach goals through radical or
revolutionary means often fail because they heighten fear. But the small steps of Kaizen disarm
the brain’s fear response, stimulating rational thought and creative play.”
One Small Step Can Change Your Life: The Kaizen Way- Robert Maurer, PhD.

WIP can provide an immune system like response to impediments
It can free up the time for improvements and innovation to occur
