    [ENGLISH EPISODE] This is the start of a new series called Cognitive Confoes that will be dedicated to more abstract and conceptual topics. In this first episode, I had the privilege to talk with Wayne Macpherson about Kaizen. In short, Kaizen, is a Japanese philosophy on continuous improvement. Wayne is from New Zealand and he currently holds the position as the Director for the Management Programme at the Massey Business School. However, he has lived and worked in Japan for 2 decades where he encountered Kaizen. Enjoy the episode to see how this journey unfolded and learn about it.
