1. USING THE KAIZEN APPROACH WITH
BUSINESS MANAGEMENT DEGREES
Continuous Improvement
2. What is Kaizen?
The Japanese word for continuous
improvement, kaizen,is often used
interchangeably with the term continuous
improvement.
Continuous Improvement
3. Why apply it to education at the college
level?
Organizational performance can improve
from knowledge gained through
experience. Lessons learned from
mistakes mean those mistakes are less
likely to be repeated, while successes
encourage students to try the same thing
again or continue to try new things.
Continuous Improvement
4. Why apply it to education at the college
level?
While this learning process occurs
throughout the system it is particularly
important for accomplishing the long-term
improvement associated with continuous
improvement.
Continuous Improvement
5. Why apply it to education at the college
level?
In order for continuous improvement to
be successful, the organization must learn
from past experience and translate this
learning into improved performance.

6. Charging Uphill: Innovation
When people want to change, they usually
turn first to the strategy of innovation.
Although you may usually think of
innovation as a type of creative
breakthrough, I'm using the term here as
it's defined by business schools, where the
vocabulary of success and change is highly
specific.
Continuous Improvement
7. According to this definition, innovation is
a drastic process of change. Ideally, it
occurs in a very short period of time,
yielding a dramatic turnaround.
Innovation is fast and big and flashy; it
reaches for the largest result in the
smallest amount of time.
Continuous Improvement
8. Although the term may be new to you,
the idea behind it is probably quite
familiar. In the corporate world, examples
of innovation include highly painful
strategies such as mass layoffs to
strengthen the bottom line as well as
more positive approaches such as major
investments in expensive new
technologies.
Continuous Improvement
9. We applaud innovation as a way to make
changes... when it works. Turning our
lives around on a dime can be a source of
confidence and self-respect. But I have
observed that many people are crippled
by the belief that innovation is the only
way to change.
Continuous Improvement
10. We ignore a problem or challenge for as
long as possible, and then, when we are
forced by circumstances or duress, we
attempt to make a large leap toward
improvement.
Continuous Improvement
11. When you improve a little each day,
eventually big things occur. When you
improve learning a little each day,
eventually you have a big improvement in
learning. Not tomorrow, not the next day,
but eventually a big gain is made.
Continuous Improvement
12. Don't look for the big, quick improvement.
Seek the small improvement one day at a
time. That's the only way it happens and
when it happens, it lasts.
Continuous Improvement
13. Rich countries have already made the
leap from an industrial society to an age
of information: an age where human
brainpower, knowledge and creativity will
continue to replace machinery and
buildings as the main capital in society.
Continuous Improvement
14. Poor countries now have the enormous
opportunity to telescope history: to leap
over the industrial era and straight into
the new age of networked intelligence.
Continuous Improvement
15. But that new age also poses stark
alternatives. For those with the new
knowledge: a world of opportunity. For
those without: the prospect of
unemployment, poverty and despair as
the old jobs disappear, the old systems
crumble
Continuous Improvement
16. A threefold purpose for study
Studying should generally also have a
threefold purpose:
1. To learn skills and knowledge about the
specific subjects - and how you can do that
faster, better, easier.
2. To develop general conceptual skills -
how you can learn to apply the same or
related concepts in other areas.
3. To develop personal skills and attitudes
that can also easily be used in everything you
do.
Continuous Improvement
17. Keep the mind open, the communication
clear
We also make a strong plea to everyone
involved in education, learning and
schooling: to keep an open mind, and to
communicate the results of breakthrough-research
factually, honestly and clearly.
Continuous Improvement
18. The scope of this change forces us to
completely rethink everything we've ever
understood about learning, education,
schooling, business, economics and
government.
In fact, schools can successfully introduce
information technology only if they rethink
the role of teaching and learning. If every
student can retrieve knowledge when
required, then the teacher's main role is no
longer that of a information-provider.
Continuous Improvement
19. At last we are also learning to make use
of the most brilliant human resource of
all: the almost limitless power of the
billions of cells and trillions of connections
that make up the average human brain.
Continuous Improvement
20. Colleges need to stay flexible
Need to work with Global organizations on
what is current in workplace
Hands on Approach
Open to new ways to engage students
and learning
Continuous Improvement
21. Treat college like a business, learning is a
job set high standards.
High Standards attract good students
Good students graduate/Improve bottom
line.
Mentorship and coaching
Reduce unnecessary classes that don’t
apply to degrees.
Continuous Improvement
22. Conclusion
By taking small steady steps to improve the
standard of education at the college level
we can improve the global workplace while
improving the colleges bottom line.
