In my recent discussions on White Collar Kaizen, one of the issues that seem to migrate through the conversation was the need for a process owner to insure that the Kaizen initiative was carried out. In the non‑manufacturing world the teams are so cross functional and organizations are so "siloed," that the claim is that it would throw the organizational chart out of whack. As I listened to the conversation my thoughts wandered off to the description of a Scrum team. If you are doing Kaizen and looking how best to implement and sustain your next Kaizen Event you may want to review these team principles.
I have been told to think of a Kaizen Event as one large PDCA with several mini PDCA within it. Sounds like one big Iteration with several smaller Iterations… Could Scrum be similar to PDCA?
