If you look up the definition of “kaizen” online, or in any dictionary, it will be defined as “good change” or a “Japanese business philosophy of continuous improvement of working practices, personal efficiency, etc.” I honestly don’t believe those definitions do it justice.

Kaizen is a REVOLUTIONARY change. It’s a game changing activity to solve a problem with a cross functional team over a set period of time that is based on a measurable problem statement and agreed upon scope. Kaizen moves mountains for any process, in any industry, across the globe.

This book will tell you EXACTLY how to run a successful kaizen event. Intrigued? Let's GO!

Hi! I’m Katie Labedz. I am a mid-west girl who loves sunshine, horses, and riding across the country with my husband on our motorcycles. I have a passion for helping people improve their everyday tasks, both at work and at home. I believe that if you can understand how to improve your personal life with continuous improvement concepts, then you can apply those concepts in every sphere of your life.

Now for the professional part: I am a Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt, certified project management professional, certified instructor/facilitator, professional speaker, author, instructional designer, coach, and mentor—and I have a degree in Management Information Systems. I worked in Corporate America for most of my career, and I am now the president of my own continuous improvement consulting firm, Learning to Lean LLC.

I give this book five stars because I enjoyed reading it and learned from it.
How to Improve Absolutely Every Process by Katie Labedz is written for people who want to facilitate a successful kaizen event. Katie leads you step-by-step through a kaizen event that, when done well, can produce revolutionary change.
I found this book instructional without being dry. And the graphics help reinforce the text in a fun, memorable way.
Thanks Katie!

5.0 out of 5 stars Have fun learning how to host your own lean process improvement!
Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2023
This book is both a direct read as well as a resource you can use to refer to as you find yourself with all the resources and information to run your very own Kaizen event. Katie provides all the tools and information to make you, yes YOU, able to run your very own process improvement.

This is a great follow up to her first book - How to Improve Absolutely Everything. I love all the personal stories she shares to make you feel right at home. Reading this book was like having a one on one conversation with Katie. Whether you've met her before or not, you can hear her voice echoing through pages and before you know it you have finished the book.

Get this book now and be improving any process tomorrow!

5.0 out of 5 stars Practical and tactical quick read!
Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2023
Katie does a great job explaining what Kaizen is and providing the step-by-step in how to run a Kaizen event. This is not a text book, rather it is a quick read with very relatable real-life examples. This is almost like a one-way conversation with the author, and I can basically hear her voice in my head as I read the book. So many books are all theory and very limited on application. I highly recommend this quick read for anyone interested in, or experienced in process improvement.

My favorite line was, “Why is it important to know the DOWNTIME wastes? Because when you recognize them, you can work to eliminate them!”
