Kaizen Groei B.V. — Continuous Improvement in Motion
We’re transforming how organizations in the Netherlands embrace kaizen principles. Through incremental progress and a disciplined mindset, we’ve helped hundreds of teams unlock sustainable growth without massive overhauls.
How Kaizen Groei B.V. Started
We didn’t start as a consultancy. We started as a manufacturing team frustrated with how much waste we saw every single day. In 2009, our founder noticed something: small, consistent improvements beat massive changes every time. Japanese companies had figured this out decades ago with kaizen. But it wasn’t just a process — it was a mindset.
So we built our own system. We tested it. It worked. Then we taught others, and they saw the same results. What began in one factory became training programs for logistics companies, healthcare facilities, financial institutions, and everything in between. We’re not here to lecture about lean management or operational excellence. We’re here to show you how incremental progress compounds into real, measurable transformation.
Today, Kaizen Groei B.V. works across five regions of the Netherlands. We’ve trained teams in over 350 organizations. But we don’t measure success by consulting fees — we measure it by the small wins our clients achieve week after week, month after month.
How We Work With You
We’ve simplified our approach into five practical steps. It’s not complicated. It’s just consistent.
Assessment & Foundation
We spend time understanding your current state. Not a quick audit — we actually talk to the people doing the work. We’re looking for where incremental improvement will have the biggest impact.
Mindset Training
Kaizen isn’t just tools. It’s a way of thinking. We run interactive sessions that show your teams why continuous improvement matters, how to spot waste, and how to contribute ideas without fear.
Hands-On Implementation
Theory doesn’t stick. We work alongside your teams through their first improvement cycles. We facilitate kaizen events, set up daily huddles, and create visual management systems that actually work.
Embedding Habits
The real win is when your teams keep improving without us in the room. We build the systems, training, and accountability that make continuous improvement automatic.
Sustain & Scale
You’re not done when we leave. We provide ongoing support, audits, and coaching to make sure improvements stick and expand to other parts of your organization.
Our Core Principles
These aren’t just words on a website. They shape every decision we make and how we work with clients.
Respect for People
The best ideas come from people doing the work. We don’t impose solutions — we listen, empower, and build capability from within.
Small Wins, Big Impact
You don’t need massive transformation projects. One percent better every week compounds into remarkable results over a year.
Data-Driven Progress
We measure what matters. Cycle time, defect rates, employee ideas submitted — we track the metrics that prove kaizen is working.
Sustainability Over Speed
Quick fixes fade. We build systems and habits that last, creating cultures where improvement never stops.
Partnership, Not Dictation
We’re not the experts who tell you what’s wrong. We’re partners who help you discover and fix problems yourselves.
Continuous Learning
We don’t have all the answers. Neither do you. Together, we learn, adapt, and improve how we improve.
Why Organizations Choose Kaizen Groei B.V.
“We didn’t expect much difference in the first three months. But once people saw how their ideas actually got implemented, and how it made their jobs easier, the momentum was incredible. It’s been two years and they’re still suggesting improvements.”
— Manager, Manufacturing, Rotterdam
We’re not the only kaizen consultancy in the Netherlands. But we’re probably the only one that didn’t start in a consulting office. We built this because we lived it. We’ve seen teams go from resistant to enthusiastic. We’ve watched production lines improve by double digits without replacing equipment. We’ve helped healthcare teams reduce patient wait times and employee turnover simultaneously.
The difference? We don’t treat kaizen as a project with a start date and an end date. We treat it as a fundamental shift in how your organization thinks and acts. Every week, small improvements compound. Every month, the culture shifts. Every year, you’re operating in an entirely different way — but you didn’t have to overhaul everything to get there.
