Known as the father of Continuous Improvement (CI), Masaaki Imai has been a pioneer and leader in spreading the kaizen philosophy all over the world.

His firsthand account is based on his close associations and travels with Shoichiro Toyoda and Taichi Ohno and reveals the secrets behind the success of Toyota and other Japanese companies.

The concept of kaizen is to make simple, common-sense improvements and refinements to critical end-to-end business processes- supporting the overall CI strategy of the organization.

Today, companies around the world have used kaizen for greater productivity, speed, quality, and profits with minimal cost, time, and effort to get results and to become recognized industry leaders.

Masaaki Imai’s latest book "Strategic KAIZEN™" was published in 2021 and completed the trilogy of his authoritative work on the kaizen approach.
