Excellence in Digital Communication
Through Continuous Improvement
Kaizen (改善) is the Japanese word for improvement. It refers to actions that continually improve processes and it involves everyone in an organization. Initially practiced in Japan after World War II, it is influenced in part by earlier American quality-management theory.
Kaizen practices can be applied to anything in business and in life. Applying them to digital communications
is where I come in. My name is Greg Norton.

Improving Results Across All Digital Channels
I apply the concepts of continuous improvement to digital communications by looking at a digital channel – say, your web site – and discovering areas for potential improvement. Once these are identified, I work to fully understand current practices and how they relate to the final product. This sets the stage for structured, measurable innovation.
By brainstorming with everyone in the process, I’ll develop an improvement hypothesis and testing implementation plan that, once initiated, will yield actionable results to help you improve your digital outreach.
Once adopted, the cycle of continuous improvement is repeated without end so the effectiveness of every digital touch-point and channel is tested, measured, improved, and tested again.
The Kaizen cycle relies on measurements to identify areas that can be improved and testing proposed process improvements. Once improved methods are adopted, the cycle is repeated.
