But, one element of Point Kaizen that I&#8217;ve especially enjoyed is what I&#8217;ve come to call Daily Kaizen. But, regardless of the type of Kaizen you are running, keep in mind that classifications of Kaizen really do not matter. The most important item to remember is that Kaizen should be everyday and the most important Kaizen is what you are doing today &#8211; this moment &#8211; right now. <a title=\"classifying the types of kaizen\" href=\"https:\/\/staging.opexlearning.com\/resources\/kaizen-training-the-big-picture\/10448\/\">But, if you&#8217;re still interested in classifying the types of Kaizen, go read about them here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>So, let me get back to the Kaizen Newspaper and Daily Kaizen.<\/p>\n<p>The Kaizen Newspaper is really designed to help us in implementing many, many, small daily improvements.
