Join the Japan Guided Study Tour, led by KIAP—a global consulting firm founded in 2006 by thought leaders with a vision shaped by learning first hand from renowned Japanese Senseis including Masaaki Imai sensei, the father of Kaizen.

Japan stands as a global benchmark for operational excellence, disciplined living, and thoughtful design — making it the ideal destination to learn, unlearn, and relearn. It is the birth place of philosophies of Kaizen, Lean, and the Zero Defect which have in turn given rise to world-class management concepts like TPM, 5S, Just-In-Time (JIT) and Kanban, among others.

The Japanese way of life is guided by values of respect, mindfulness and continuous improvement, reflected in the customer-centric processes and people-first approach. The culture exemplifies cleanliness, discipline, precision, and attention to detail.
