KAIZEN and SHORT thoughts

«I am currently on my 17th day in Asia. It’s not just a vacation. This is a mixed balance of work and relaxation. And coincidentally, from Asia we are teaching a course “Lean Manufacturing” based on the best practices of Japanese management.

When I visit different countries and observe people, I understand that CLIMATE, NUTRITION, CULTURE, TEMPERATURE REGIMES and the AMOUNT of SUN have a very big impact not only on cultural characteristics, appearance, behavior, but also on the LOGIC of THINKING and VALUES.

We, Ukrainians, OBVIOUSLY HAVE 4 SEASONS: winter, spring, summer, autumn. Each weather has its own clothing, way of behavior and methods of survival. WE GENETICALLY THINK IN VOLUMETRIC, COMPLEX AND SCHEMES.

We swim with my friend in the warm gel of the ocean (water + 30 C˚) on the third day of arrival, a man swims up. We got talking. He has been in Phuket since December. He coordinates his business remotely. He shares his impressions about the events of the rains, about the weather, food and the state of the nervous system))) He says: “There is such peace in this paradise. The thoughts here are important, not complex and ornate, like ours.!»

After 10 days, we also noticed that the thoughts “shortened” and not only the water in the ocean, but also the flow of these thoughts became gel-like))). For rest, of course, the ideal state, but it is planned to stimulate the “acceleration”.

So I thought that (those living in certain parts of the continent) really like KAIRYO REVOLUTIONARY CHANGE (Breakthrough Change Method: is a complex languid improvement of processes or business process reengineering) and that it is CLIMATELY, GENETICALLY and CULTURALLY laid down.

Therefore, when we WANT to CHANGE the THINKING of our employees to the KAIZEN approach, WE NEED TO START WITH OUR THOUGHTS and with THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE MORAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL CLIMATE in the ORGANIZATION, so that thoughts become “SHORT” and provoke A DESIRE TO MAKE SMALL STEPS OF IMPROVEMENT.

«Overcoming the difficult begins with the easy, the massive begins with the small, the beginning in the world is difficult to access from the easy, and the great from the small ”(Lao Tzu – an ancient Chinese philosopher).
