Make Your Next Kaizen Event a Slam Dunk

March madness is in full swing, and we are not going to lie. We
have basketball on the brain. The level of talent and dedication
that players display even when they do not win the game is truly
inspiring. As spectators, we see the game. What we do not see are
the countless hours of practice, the sacrifice, the workouts, the
strategy sessions, and all of the other hard work that goes into
competing at this level. We are impressed. A Kaizen event is a bit
like a basketball game. In order to win in basketball, there are
some things you need to do during the game, but also a bunch of
stuff that needs to happen off the court. The same is true for
completing a successful Kaizen event. You must strive for great
execution while the event is in progress, but much of the work
happens before it begins and after it ends. Here are some of the
most important things to keep in mind if you want your next event
to be as easy as an uncontested layup.
