Ten Commandments of Continuous Improvement



I was intrigued by this very straightforward yet powerful principle I watched on continuous improvement. It is called the 10 commandments of Kaizen. Read along...

1. Open mind to change.
2. Think yes we can, if.
3. Attack process, not people.
4. Seek simple solutions.
5. If its broken, stop to fix it.
6. Use creativity, not capital.
7. Problems are opportunities in disguise.
8. Find the rootcause-why why why.
9. Wisdom of the many, not knowledge of one.
10. There is no final destination on the improvement journey.

To sum, perfect practice daily is key.

Someone said it takes 10,000 hrs of practice to perfect one craft. So if we practice daily (8 hrs) to learn one craft, it takes total of 3.5 years to master it. Wow! Is this the reason why average effectivity of a job is pegged around 3.5 years. Beyond that, a person is just cruising?
