In a previous article, “Verve Kaizen Day: Get Little Better after Each Session” we discussed what a Kaizen is and how verve projected its first event of the year. “Kaizen” is a compound Japanese word. “Kai” means little, ongoing, and good, and “Zen” means for the better. It was really a worth start with great curiosity and enthusiasm. Now, as Verve BD team discovered the taste of improvement through Kaizen they were impatiently waiting for the second event to commence.
The second Kaizen day commenced on 6th Feb 2016, which fall on the first Saturday of February. Each session was designed in a precise manner with an objective to learn in a fun way. The learning objectives behind the Kaizen were:
- Analyzing your personality
- Demonstrating a case study
- Budget Management
- Keeping up the spirits
- Maintaining good health
Overnight success takes a lot of years to happen. Such success deserves to stay forever. This happens with small steps. By taking small steps a human brain begins to remove obstacles, encouraging your brain to get involved in the whole process of continuous improvement.
What Verve BD team did on second Kaizen Day – 6th Feb 2016?
The day was divided into 4 exciting sessions which included:
1. DOPE Personality Test
The DOPE test is a self-assessment test and uses 4 main bird types to describe your personality. The four birds are Dove, Owl, Peacock, and Eagle, with each bird having unique characteristics. The Dove is known to be peaceful and friendly, the owl is known to be wise and logical, the peacock to be optimistic, and the eagle bold and decisive.
2. Project Spec Demo
A Business manager – Mr. Ravi Ranjan demonstrated the case study of Verve. How it happens to come to Verve and its ins and outs. With this session, the team learned to understand the scope of work and develop a sense of judging the opportunities.
3. Success Mantra
Sharing leads learning and with this motive, Mr. Ankit Mudaliar explained about Sachin Tendulkar – the great Indian cricket player’s success mantra. The video was played to showcase 10 ways to keep in mind while building performance. Implementing his idea of success in regular business may prove to be an effective way for an outstanding result.
4. Good Health
A nutritionist from VLCC – Mrs. Pranita Gupta gave a lecture on food habits to maintain good health in the hectic life of IT professionals. She counseled each and every member about his current daily routine and suggested the best possible ways to change it. Team members were quite motivated and all set to change their lifestyle as per her guidelines.
Leaders can see the Kaizen day laid positive energy in each BD team member. And, they themselves would possibly feel the change and improvement while being on the work field. Being the pillar of any company – business development team need to stand smart enough in all areas. We hope these objectives are reached drop by drop with every next Kaizen. Awaiting for it!
