A short YouTube commentary defining and reinterpreting the Japanese term "kaizen." The speaker notes the common translation "continual improvement" but argues it omits the emphasis on self-discipline and collective commitment, and reframes kaizen as "everyday improvement, everybody improvement, and everywhere improvement."
Kai means change and Zen means for the better. So together kaizen means continual improvement. At least it has been common interpretation of the meaning of kaizen as the continual improvement. But I'm beginning to feel that continual improvement is not good enough time translation because it does not carry forward this tremendous self discipline and the commitment that everybody has when doing kaizen. I now have a new interpretation of the word kaizen. I say kaizen is everyday improvement, everybody improvement and everywhere improvement.
