Whilst Kaizen is not a 'Project Management concept', it's one many Project Managers will encounter. So, what is it, and why does it matter?

The true answer will depend on the culture and procedures in your organization. But, since Kaizen is more often about continuous improvement, it may sit within the operational part of the business and hence outside of the purview of a Project Sponsor. However, if you are asking about executing Kaizen within a project that you are leading, I would say that the answer is usually no. Absolutely you should keep the sponsor informed, but marginal improvements are rarely of a strategic nature. So, they are the responsibility of a Project manager, and not of the governance tiers. If, however, a governance tier identifies a shortcoming, then they may require changes to fix it and final approval over how you address the problem.

Your videos are super comprehensive. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge with us.
My pleasure, Jessica.
Nice one, Mike. Seems like this could be applied to life in general, not just project management. Take care, stay safe.
Michael, I completely agree. Thank you.
Hi sir, do we need to get approval from project sponsor to implement Kaizen?
