Summary

It feels good to envision your startup’s success, isn’t it? But have you ever thought about the work required to make it happen?

Managing a business is never easy, but you can turn the daunting job into something more bearable. Find out how with the help of this audiobook Kaizen: How to Apply Lean Kaizen to Your Startup Business and Management to Improve Productivity, Communication, and Performance

You’ll discover:

  • The numerous applications of Kaizen
  • The secrets behind effective Kaizen use
  • The best ways to hone and tap teamwork in a startup
  • The seven types of waste in a business process
  • An efficient root cause analysis
  • The origins of Kaizen
  • And so much more

Once you learn about Kaizen’s English translation, you may assume that it’s another buzzword from the self-help industry. Before you doubt its efficiency though, you should know that the concept was from a management guidebook of a successful Japanese company.

Is kaizen applicable in managing a startup in another country? The short answer is yes. It’s not that simple though. You have to let go of some old notions and embrace new ones. This audiobook will open your eyes to the said beliefs.

This audiobook touches on many topics such as correcting mistakes, eliminating waste, generating ideas, and boosting employee morale. Sure, you can find plenty of free advice on how to carry out those tasks. However, it’s rare to encounter an approach that’s applicable to all of them.

One of the best things about this audiobook is how it highlights teamwork. Kaizen, as a management approach, is quite distinct for how it regards people. Nowadays, you can set up a business on your own. Sooner or later, however, you’re going to need help. There’s too much rave about outsourcing. Yet, success is more attainable if you have trustworthy and efficient people helping you in each big step you take.

So, what are you waiting for? Get the audiobook now and discover a better way of managing your startup!

Wonderful!

Easy to read and a rich source of authentic experiences for continuous improvement. The material does not require a deep background in Kaizen; rather anyone with a moderate knowledge in continuous improvement can benefit from this book.

Great listen

This guidebook will provide you with the information that you need to get started so that you can become an expert in Kaizen in no time. There is often a myriad of methods to improve your product, but you may not have the time to work on all of them. Lean is a methodology that is vast and covers many aspects of a business. This guidebook will spend sufficient time discussing a specific part of Lean, Kaizen.

Interesting, informative..

Interesting, informative, and the principle of small, constant improvement makes complete sense. Continuous improvement is not a fad, it is a business necessity. Top-down approaches don’t work and Kaizen is a great way to get grassroots change.
