Ben is a big fan of Masaaki Imai and hisphilosophy of Kaizen - a Japanese term that translates to "continuousimprovement."
The following is Ben’s favorite quote fromImai:
“It isimpossible to improve any process until it is standardized. If the process isshifting from here to there, then any improvement will just be one morevariation that is occasionally used and mostly ignored. One must standardize,and thus stabilize the process, before continuous improvement can bemade.” ~ Masaaki Imai
