Kaizen Facilitation and Continuous Improvement Culture
Improvement events in many South African workplaces fizzle out once the facilitator leaves because staff were never taught how to run kaizen activities themselves. This course develops practical facilitation skills for planning, running, and following up short focused improvement events, so supervisors and improvement champions can build a culture where frontline teams keep finding and fixing waste long after the workshop ends.
