Industry4cast by KFactory hosts Cornel Borza, Kaizen expert. The conversation lands on a deceptively simple line: "Kaizen means changing the organizational mindset."
"Kaizen means changing the organizational mindset."
Original: "Kaizen inseamna schimbarea modului de gandire la nivel organizational." - Cornel Borza, Kaizen expert · 12 years of US practice · operating in Romania since 2013
Cornel learned and used Kaizen for 12 years in the United States, then since 2013 has helped Romanian companies grow better, easier, and faster. The episode walks through Kaizen adoption in Romania, customer expectations, the relationship between continuous-improvement methodologies and digital transformation - and the most common reasons that implementations fail.
The link to Industry 4.0 platforms is not a coincidence: Kaizen and digital transformation are the same operating-model change wearing different clothes. Both succeed when management practices change first, and both fail in the same way - the tools land but the way of working underneath them does not move.
