This Friday, September 13, the documentary about Inoxtag climbing Everest is being shown in hundreds of movie theaters; it is called Kaizen, which is no coincidence.
The art of creating the event. Friday 13 and Saturday 14 September, Inoxtag will be on everyone’s mind. The videographer will indeed offer his documentary on his ascent of Everest, the highest peak in the world, with first a broadcast in hundreds of cinemas, then on Youtube, for free, from the next day at 2:30 p.m.
A real rendezvous for his fans who have not had any news from Inoxtag since the start of his adventure in April 2024. The name of the documentary, Kaïzen, is however no coincidence.
A word from Japan
The term “Kaizen” is a contraction of two Japanese words that mean “positive change” or “improvement.” It is generally used in a situation to highlight a production that is constantly improving, and never failing.
As the specialist magazine LeMagIT points out, this term was invented by American consultants, who were visiting Toyota assembly plants at the time. They argued in favour of better quality control among the “first in line”, in this case, the workers on the first production lines, in order to ensure that the rest of the assembly process went as smoothly as possible.
Kaizen broadly refers to ten major principles, including perpetual questioning, proactive problem solving, the absence of the search for perfection, correcting a problem the moment it appears, and creating a healthy environment, where each person feels like they are useful for something.
A virtuous cycle but one with its flaws
This virtuous cycle thus aims to involve employees as much as possible in a company so that they have in mind that it is their efforts which will allow the creation of a product or an event which will be appreciated at the end of its production.
In the case of Inoxtag, the term Kaizen is used to first mean the training of the videographer, who runs for an entire year, to succeed in his ascent of Everest. He owes his success to himself, but also to all of his teams and people involved in the project, such as his mountain guide who accompanied him in this feat.
It will also be interesting to see if the documentary returns to one of the disadvantages of Kaizen, which is to provide short-lived, even superficial, pleasure, and which can generate a psychological backlash. Perhaps here we find Inoxtag’s media silence since April.
