There’s a great way I learn and remember stuff. By sharing the new idea with others as soon as I can.

Yokoten is a Japanese manufacturing concept that is especially relevant to Project Managers.
And, what particularly tickles me is that, in telling you about Yokoten, I am doing Yokoten.

Because Yokoten means 'Best Practice Sharing'
It's the best translation of a term adopted by Toyota. It reflects the idea of transferring ideas and information among peers.

Yokoten builds on a more familiar concept: 'Kaizen'
Kaizen is a continuous flow of improvements. Everyone on your team has the right - and responsibility - to spot ways to do things better.
Once you find an idea that works, through Kaizen, the next thing to do is to share it. That's Yokoten.\n
