Inspirational Quote

“Change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability, but comes through continuous struggle.”

Martin Luther King Jr.

Continuous Improvement

Kaizen Method

Kaizen is the idea of making small incremental changes that can foster continuous improvement. Our brains are programmed to resist change and to succeed we must build new smaller habits that create new programming. Small changes that are continuous.

  • Identify Opportunities

  • Create a plan for a small change

  • Implement Plan

  • Measure and Evaluate

  • If successful Repeat (If not start with a new change)

As you consider your goals for 2025 consider breaking them down into small habits that build up on one another. Focus on purpose, process, people and performance. Keep changes small and keep them going!
