Kaizen: Small Changes, Big Difference

“… in Japanese Kaizen, every single step is a small one—a minor change here, a minor improvement there. But the aim is to produce by means of step-by-step improvements a radically different product, process, or service a few years later. The aim is to make a difference.”

Peter Drucker

How making a difference matters. Staying competitive, strong and capable.

Drucker on Innovation – The Time Lag

“Successful innovations exploit changes that have already happened. They exploit the time lag-in science, often twenty-five or thirty years between the change itself and its perception and acceptance.”

Peter Ferdinand Drucker. Managing in a Time of Great Change (Drucker Library) (p. 20). Kindle Edition.

What changes have recently occurred?

What are the opportunities that the future will present?

Something to think about.
