So how do companies tap into these benefits?

You should think very seriously before implementing “big bang” Company re-engineering,  

Big changes mean big risks  

The secret is SMALL IMPROVEMENTS which have a SMALL RISK, which, added together, have big effects on profits. 

Hayai Kaizen is one way of making small effective improvements. It is a simple but powerful technique which inspires your employees to offer new improvement ideas on a continuous basis. It allows them to make their jobs easier, reduce costs, improve quality and helps you satisfy the customer by reducing the time you take to deliver services or products to your customers. 

It is very different from a traditional suggestion scheme. These often require someone else to implement the idea and may be supported by some monetary reward. You may well have come across the monster amount of administration and resentment that these schemes can harbour. 

We are talking about a technique which involves EVERY employee in releasing their creative potential and becoming responsible for the success of your company. 

What would be the impact of hundreds or even thousands of improvement ideas on your productivity, quality, costs, safety, customer service and profitability?  

Try this experiment…..  get a pile of post-it notes or pieces of paper and a small group of employees together and then ask them “If this was your company, what would you change to make things easier, better, the work more interesting or improve your work environment?” 

Get them to write their ideas down on the post-it’s and stick them up so they can all see them and be prepared to be stunned at the ideas forthcoming….

Once you start asking for ideas from your employees, you will need to give them support and training to implement their ideas. They will also need further encouragement to come up with more ideas. You will be amazed at the benefits. 

It’s a fact of life that Managers rarely know more than 10% of the problems in their company and Directors even less, but the people doing the work know 100% of the problems…….. 

Sometimes companies do have to undertake large wholesale changes but these can be much more effective and have a greater chance of success when they are complimented by many additional small changes………
