Seven Benefits of Kaizen Workshop for Your Team with Juan Steigerwald
Mon Dec 08 2025
Welcome to the “Business Excellence for Managers” podcast!In today’s episode, I dive into why Kaizen is making a real comeback in modern management. Continuous improvement isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a practical way to create fast, tangible change. And Kaizen workshops are one of the most effective tools to make that happen.
I break down how these workshops compress months of problem-solving into just a few days, driven entirely by the people who know the process best: the subject-matter experts. When ideas come from the front line, not consultants or management, you get solutions that actually stick.
We’ll look at the structure of a Kaizen workshop, the benefits it brings to teams, and how it breaks down silos, boosts engagement, and strengthens workplace culture.
And I’ll share why the real power of Kaizen lies in managers stepping back, empowering their teams, and ensuring the ideas generated get implemented in a meaningful way.
If you’re leading people, improving operations, or simply curious about how to unlock better performance through empowerment, this episode gives you a clear, practical roadmap.
