KPT of Kaizen Journey

• Kaizen Journey P.24

I really like this diagram. I have been working on KPT until now.

• Keep
• Problem
• Try I recognized it as a tasteless list of three words.

What’s good about this diagram Arranging them like this clarifies the time frame.

• Decide Try=Next Action for the current [Problem
• The next time you look back, you know the result of that Try.
  • Of those that produced good results, those that will be continued next time go into Keep.
    • Stop what is not worth continuing.
    • I like that it’s explicitly stated to stop.
  • Those that did not produce good results are naturally accompanied by some kind of Problem.
    • Problem can spontaneously disappear over time.

So, I was inspired by this diagram and added some things. I had a lot of fun and painted a lot of things. I drew too much and the diagram was messy. Not good. Explanation:.

• Problem is the gap between Reality and Vision: Problem Solving Methods The problem is the gap between ideal and reality
• It is creative tension that pulls Reality into Vision: Learning Organization.
• Negative beliefs pull in the opposite direction. See: Ideal, Reality and Helplessness.
• Problem-solving methods consider multiple causes of reality and focus on those related to people
• Negative beliefs are part of policy constraints, constraints: constraint theory
• When Reality is a Problem, the action to get out of it is Remedy, and the place you want to reach after getting out is Outcome, which is a concept similar to Vision: PRO Model.
  • [Keep corresponds to Again, Quit corresponds to Abandon.
