The idea of Kaizen comes to us from Japan and is typically thought of as the process of continuous improvement. One thing I like about Kaizen is that its very existence as a philosophy and practice grew from improvements on the teachings of W. Edwards Deming, the storied professor, lecturer, author and consultant who helped Japan grow from the tatters of WWII. Therefore, Kaizen is itself a result of kaizen – a little recursivity never hurts!And (wait for it….) isn’t that what informative blogs are all about? A little bit more knowledge each day. As we strive to put information out there that helps to inform and understand the world we also attempt to improve our own practices day after day. In the nearly quarter-century I’ve been at professional data recovery and computer forensics, and the approximately 15,000 hard drives, computers, and other digital media I’ve worked on, I still see something new nearly every single week, learn something new nearly every single day, and attempt to bring these things to improve my own practice.
