Office Kaizen Leadership Kickoff

Have you been asked to kickoff a kaizen event?  You're may be thinking, "Say something at the kickoff?  I can't even say kaizen without someone correcting me!"  Take a deep breath, I'm going to make this easy for you.  Your job in this situation is to set the Vision and Direction of the event.

You need to express the following:
1) Your support for change, but not "The" change.
2) Your own words why this event/project/kaizen/etc is important.
3) Your confidence in the team member's ability to succeed.

You may even want to go over the important parts of the charter such as Goals and Deliverables.  Remember you are setting the Vision and Direction, and instilling your confidence in the team.
