But here's two...You're right, in principle. But here's two problems the members of a development team face: either Kaizen comes from management without a clue about what the team is doing, without the habit of listening and not at all inclined to give even a bit of authority to the team itself, and ends in a bureaucratic process with no real benefits, or the team wants to change for the better but management doesn't care, or is rightout distrustful of such initiatives. In such cases, I'd say it's not so much a wrong understanding of Kaizen as it is a pragmatic understanding of Kaizen for the team to start working on improving the functioning and the knowledge of the team itself, without too many expectations that the world around it will change too.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
