Kaizen Learning Experience

Everyone wants to be Agile.
We kept getting requests for Agile workshops.
It was Agile this and Agile that, Agile all the time.

But we honestly feel this is a lot of hype. The transformation that Agile requires takes huge amounts of time, anywhere between six to twelve months to implement and then several years to see improvements and results. And it doesn’t work for everyone.

So... we rolled up our sleeves and started to research options that were more aligned with our passion for fun learning and realistic for our clients. That’s when we discovered Kaizen and immediately knew that it was something we could sink our teeth into.

Kaizen is a Japanese term meaning change for the better or continuous improvement. Improvement in productivity is viewed as a gradual and methodical process. The Kaizen methodology underscores that small changes now can have large future impacts. It also considers that every individual, irrespective of their position within the company hierarchy can contribute to the process of change. Everyone has a voice and a responsibility.

Purpose

Empowering people to make small, incremental changes within their company on a daily basis

Goal

Learn new mindsets, solutions, actionables, resources, and tools to face daily challenges, issues, and needs at work.

Maps in Nature

Work is complex!
The dynamics, the balance, the skills, the relationships.
The amount of meetings that take up endless time.

It can be so much to navigate and so confusing, as an individual employee, as a manager with a team, as a ecosystem that holds different departments, as a leader and as a company. When we started to think about the problems that our clients face, one thing we knew for sure is that we needed to get them out of the office and into nature. To shake things up a bit. And we needed to create something that would help to deal with all of this confusion.

A map is a versatile resource. It is a reminder that life is a journey with different landmarks along the way. A map helps you to understand where you have been, where you are, and where you are headed. It is filled with possibilities and helps to navigate complexities along the way.

The Maps in Nature workshop is a 4-part learning experience.

Creativity for Innovation

Most people are deathly afraid of creativity.
Afraid of being judged, of not being good enough.
Fearful of not knowing, of losing control, of being stuck.
And, of course, afraid of failure.

But we know that creativity is located deep inside of every single person on this planet. And creativity is absolutely crucial for work. To face problems in new ways and find solutions. To truly innovate for the future of the company and the planet.

True creativity can get messy but that is part of the fun. We set the scene and create a safe space to experiment, explore, and discover. Nothing is wrong. Mistakes or errors don’t exist. The idea is to return to that wellspring of creativity we enjoyed in our childhood and learn ways in which to apply these skills in our jobs.

The Creativity for innovation workshop combines different disciplines, with the option to pick and mix the activities, which we can help you with, depending on your needs.

An important need or a difficult issue.
You need help and a different approach.
