KC's Approach to Development Transformations
The Kaizen Company (KC) delivers solutions that strengthen institutions, improve their performance, and enable donors to reduce and eventually eliminate funding in targeted areas. KC does this by transforming organizations and by creating market incentives for high-quality institutional reform support services. Local service providers respond to these incentives, receiving support from The Kaizen Company both during and after donor-supported projects end.
KC’s Development Assistance (DA) division carries out donor-supported development projects to strengthen institutions internationally.
KC's Ongoing Transformation Services (OTS) division provides unlimited, ongoing support to these local organizations - and the service providers supporting them - beyond the provision of donor assistance.
KC's DA and OTS divisions work together to realize KC’s mission of transforming development and reducing donor dependency.
Results
KC’s approach shifts the development model from top-down, expatriate-driven, time-limited advice to locally owned and driven, bottom-up reforms that are empowered by unlimited, cost-effective access to international resources and expertise. Market incentives create entrepreneurs out of enterprising locals, and international private sector relationships - independent of donor assistance - ensure that local service providers stay on the cutting edge of emerging trends and best-practices.
KC’s approach shifts the focus from implementing donor-sponsored projects to creating successful, long-term development outcomes.
