🔄🏃♀️Rip Value 5/7: Kaizen🏃♀️🔄 Today we feature our 5th company value “kaizen”. Kaizen is a Japanese term that means “change for the better” or “continuous improvement”. At Rip Van Kaizen is part of our business philosophy; to proactively & continuously become better. We apply kaizen to our products, systems, culture, individual contributions and company as whole. The way we put #kaizen into practice is by recording and internalizing our learnings. Learnings come from understanding the principle drivers that lead to outcomes. When we experience success, internalizing these learnings can be quite enjoyable, however in the face of failure, mistakes or extreme crisis, going through the excercise of examining these learnings can be quite painful. However, it is in these moments that the learnings are particularly important if properly internalized. Learnings from mistakes and failures allow us to prevent them in the future. As such we don’t view failure or mistakes as a negative, rather we try and decouple ourselves from them, analyze them constructively and objectively so that we can learn from them and grow. #culture #values #truth #improvement #better #continuous #positive #feedback #loop #constructive #decouple #netpositive #growth #individual #team #company
