Board of Advisors

The world around us is profuse with ideas and visions. Those amongst us, who have successfully actualized ideas into concrete solutions, deserve our collective thank you for not just making our lives better but for also inspiring us to achieve excellence. It is with gratitude and reverence that we present our Board of Advisors, leaders whose advice, mentorship and ideas we continue to seek and value.
 

Koji Shimizu

Koji Shimizu is a master of Kaizen, the Japanese methodology for continuous improvement. The mastermind in Toyota Production Methods (that were studied and introduced to the US in the early 90s by MIT, and which are composed of basic theories and collection of myriad number of Kaizen cases), Koji has been called the ‘whiz kid’, respected as a ‘sacred hand’

(every thing he touches has routinely changed for far better), and regarded as one of the very best personnel in Toyota corporate history. His acumen has been highly sought after in the U.S., where General Motors had asked him to join their team over and over. While at Toyota Motor Corp and its group companies he has headed one of the 5 huge Kaizen teams to bring the company to the break even point (from 96 yens/dollar to 66 yens/dollar) in a matter of few short years. Such was his success that his team’s achievement was reported by 3 of the 5 national TV networks in Japan.

After he quit Toyota and went independent, he has consulted and turned around a large number of client companies (including Toyota and Komatsu) of varied sizes and in various industries over decades. Koji’s services have been highly sought after, and client companies have brought in new client companies. Since he went independent more than 12 years ago, he has never stopped working on behalf of client companies, bring a culture of continuous improvement wherever he consults.
