About The purpose of this blog is to find and share better ways to make things better. Gemba is a Japanese word that means "actual place". In the kaizen philosophy, all improvement must be based on fact, and these facts are found only at the gemba – the actual workplace. Gemba is also our company name. Panta rei is an ancient Greek phrase meaning "everything changes" or "everything flows". A philosopher named Heraclites left a fragmented but important body of work relating to the changing nature of existence. It is our philosophy that change is always happening around us and that we can add human creativity to bring positive change – kaizen – to our lives.
