EXPERIENCE IS THE BEST TEACHER. USE OURS.

Gemba is the Japanese term for the actual place where value is created. For a sculptor, it would be their studio; for an actor, the stage. For a business leader it will be the high touch interactions among your people and clients, and where products and services are produced and delivered. For an Operations Manager in a manufacturing facility, the gemba could be the equipment, processes, and people on the shop floor. 

 

In order to address challenges, or implement targeted process or continuous improvement, leaders, decision makers, analysts, planners and implementers need to experience and understand the gemba. You cannot solve a health and safety issue, a product quality challenge, or a leadership failure that results in demotivated workers, simply by talking about things in a meeting room far away and not including those directly involved in the situation. 

​
