Return on Investment (ROI)
Vishwadeep Khatri posted a question in We ask and you answer! The best answer wins.
Q 346. The fundamental idea behind the Kaizen approach is that small changes add up to a big one. In such an approach, should the emphasis be on justifying the change (via ROI) or should it be on empowering people to make these small changes?
