Development Done Differently

We build innovative, scalable solutions that address emerging market challenges and opportunities.

As Kaizen celebrates our 20th anniversary, it is an opportune time to reflect on two decades of growth, innovation, and impact.

Innovative, empowering work requires talented people to make it happen. Our people around the world are supporting our mission and vision for a sustainable world.

“Imagine a world with unprecedented opportunities for people to improve their own lives and the lives of those around them.”

—Andrew Kaiser, Founder and President, From Trains to Transportation, White Paper, 2011

This vision was the driving force behind why Kaizen was created, to be used as a catalyst by which local individuals and organizations could access the tools and assistance needed to lead their own development. The term “local led development” has now been embraced by the international development community, and Kaizen continues it’s commitment to creating the world we imagined when we were founded.
