It'd be great if you're team, and especially @Gerhard, would elaborate more on your use of Kaizen for development and DevOps. Most Kaizen coverage seems to be about manufacturing or using some piece of software. I haven't found a lot about using it in a dev team setting.
Maybe get Gerhard to do some blog post?
FlakM (Oct 01 2024 at 17:28):@Al Gonzalez I have exactly the same feelings. I try to channel my inner @Gerhard when I present my work. When it comes to kaizen I recommend Kim's Gen work (Pheonix Project, DevOps handbook and many more). The whole devops movement is very heavily inspired by Toyota, lean manufacturing, Andon Cord and dojos. Can't recommend giving them a read or a listen strongly enough!

Thank you, I really appreciate that!
Both books that @FlakM recommended have been part of my library for many years now, highly recommended. Also worth exploring:
The Goal by Eliyahu Goldratt is my favourite way of understanding the core principles. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Goal_(novel) . It's Not Luck is a great follow-up.
On YouTube, these are good places to continue your reasearch: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=jez+humble & https://www.youtube.com/@ContinuousDelivery
And then there is a whole DORA world to explore: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DevOps_Research_and_Assessment (note the Accelerate book) & https://dora.dev/research/
