Kaizen is often translated to mean continuous improvement....
However, the first symbol “Kai” is made up of two sub-symbols representing “self” and “whip”. So “Kai”  actually means “Self whip.” This refers to the discipline we need to have in order to change who we are. It’s about starting with ourselves to make change.  And “Zen” is often translated to mean “good,” but the symbols actually represent the meaning of “Sacrifice.”

So the real meaning of kaizen is about having the discipline to ‘whip’ ourselves – to change ourselves – in sacrifice for the greater good. Once understood like that, the power and potential of kaizen starts to become apparent.

Self-Discipline and Sacrifice for the Good to Live with Intention.  Improvement is not just about making something better, but doing something for the genuine good of the people or process.
