The first step to creating a culture of learning and experimentation in kaizen is to communicate a clear vision and purpose for your organization and your improvement initiatives. Why are you doing kaizen? What are your goals and values? How do you measure your progress and impact? By answering these questions, you can align your team around a common direction and inspire them to pursue improvement opportunities.

Para que se tenha bons projetos de Kaizen o ideal é ter um norte claro. Caso a empresa possua um planejamento estratégico com metas desdobradas aos setores fica mais fácil para onde se deve direcionar os esfor?os dos projetos de kaizen, ou seja, deve-se focar nos principais KPIs da área, lembrando sempre que dentre os ganhos do projeto o principal objetivo tem que ser eliminar os desperdícios nas atividades e processos, tornando o ambiente de trabalho mais seguro e com menor esfor?o físico para os colaboradores.

A culture of learning and experimentation provides the fertile ground for Kaizen to thrive. Achieving this begins with establishing a clear vision that prioritizes progress over perfection. By fostering an environment where participation and open feedback from employees are encouraged, everyone has the opportunity to contribute their ideas for continuous improvement. Equipping employees with the necessary skills through training and coaching enables them to effectively implement Kaizen. Most importantly, embracing experimentation and viewing failures as learning opportunities creates a safe space for trying new things and refining processes leading to a kaizen culture.
The second step to creating a culture of learning and experimentation in kaizen is to encourage participation and feedback from everyone in your organization. Kaizen is not a top-down approach, but a bottom-up one, where the people who do the work are the ones who know the problems and solutions best. Therefore, you need to create a safe and supportive environment where everyone can share their ideas, suggestions, and concerns, and receive constructive and respectful feedback. You can use various tools and methods, such as suggestion boxes, brainstorming sessions, surveys, gemba walks, and huddles, to facilitate communication and collaboration.

Aprendi com um excelente mentor que existe uma teoria do MURO. Na qual 33% das pessoas ir?o apoiar na integra a implanta??o da metodologia proposta, 33% ficará em cima do muro, com duvidas se participam ou n?o, e por fim 33% n?o est?o dispostos a contribuir. Portanto busque reconhecimento aos 33% que est?o apoaindo e por consequência os 33% que est?o em cima do muro ir?o apoiar. Tornando assim a maioria nesse processo.
The third step to creating a culture of learning and experimentation in kaizen is to provide training and coaching to your team members. Kaizen requires a certain level of knowledge and skills, such as problem-solving, data analysis, process mapping, and waste elimination. You need to ensure that your team members have the necessary competencies and resources to implement kaizen effectively and efficiently. You can offer formal or informal training, online or offline courses, workshops, or mentoring programs, to help your team members learn and grow.

When it comes to the training step, I often found that if people don't have any idea about what kaizen means, in the early days ( at step one and two ) there is a difficulty for them to understand step one. What i found useful in some of the places i talked about kaizen was to provide a couple of hours sessions about what Kaizen is, very top level, in the discussion about the vision and why we are doing continuous improvement. Then I would mention that full scale training will be provided as part of the cultural change within the company. In this way people will have early insights into what can be done if Kaizen, or other CI methods are rolled out within the company.

In manufacturing setup, "Quality Circle" teams play a major role in KAIZEN improvements. In my personal experience, Forming quality circle team, providing them the necessary resources, time and recognizing them with proper guidance had always been success to wards problem solving and improving the kaizen culture in the organization.
The fourth step to creating a culture of learning and experimentation in kaizen is to embrace experimentation and failure. Kaizen is not about finding the perfect solution, but about testing and learning from different options. You need to encourage your team members to try new things, take risks, and make mistakes, as long as they learn from them and apply the lessons to the next cycle of improvement. You can use tools such as the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle, the A3 report, or the rapid improvement event, to guide your team members through the process of experimentation and learning.

Misserfolge geh?ren genauso zum Kaizen wie Erfolge. Manchmal scheint eine Idee zun?chst wirklich gut zu sein, und entpuppt sich dann in der Praxis als Fehlschlag. Das gute daran: Man wei? nun, wie man sein Ziel nicht erreicht. Jetzt gilt es, die gesammelte Erfahrung für den n?chsten Anlauf zu nutzen.

Absolutely. While people often discuss risk and calculated risk, the term itself can discourage others from taking action. Instead, I prefer to think of it as the affordability of a new experience. We need to assess the affordability before proceeding and prepare ourselves to increase our affordability so we can undertake more experiments and learn from them. This is my approach to embracing experimentation and failures.
The fifth step to creating a culture of learning and experimentation in kaizen is to celebrate and share successes. Kaizen is not only about finding and fixing problems, but also about recognizing and rewarding achievements. You need to acknowledge and appreciate your team members for their efforts and contributions, and celebrate their wins, big or small. You can use various ways to show recognition, such as thank-you notes, certificates, awards, or bonuses. You can also share your successes with other teams, departments, or stakeholders, to spread the best practices and inspire others to join the kaizen journey.

During my period in manufacturing shop floor, I made it a regular practice to celebrate even small wins, by acknowledging the specific person or the event, and providing them with gifts and certificates. This conveys the intend of the leader to promote KAIZEN and also encourages the complete progress further in innovative ways and means of solving the problems.
The sixth and final step to creating a culture of learning and experimentation in kaizen is to review and improve continuously. Kaizen is not a one-time event, but a never-ending process of improvement. You need to monitor and evaluate your results, identify gaps and opportunities, and implement corrective and preventive actions. You also need to solicit feedback and suggestions from your team members, customers, suppliers, or partners, to improve your processes, products, or services. You can use tools such as the balanced scorecard, the key performance indicators (KPIs), or the customer satisfaction survey, to measure and improve your performance.

Even a small improvement adds up. So always keep a note of all the small improvements that's been achieved. Following continuous improvement for a long time, and looking back will make you feel like you have achieved something. That same thing will motivate you to keep improving.

Something else to consider is having at least a champion within the business. Somebody that has done this before and can drive the discussions in a productive manner, and also to be able to answer certain questions that maybe people didn't think about during the training.

It is the role of leaders and top management to lead by example in their work habits. The team should observe a culture of learning and experimentation in the daily activities of leaders and top management. I am proud to say that my mentors in my current organization consistently declare, "It is our company's culture to encourage experimenting and learning, and it is our privilege to embrace them."
