From AI to Kaizen: Continuously learning, innovating, and experiencing Toyota culture

Toyota’s philosophy of kaizen—meaning "continuous improvement" in Japanese—forms the cornerstone of its corporate vision and operational excellence. Rooted in the belief that small, incremental changes can lead to significant long-term achievements, kaizen permeates every facet of Toyota’s business, from manufacturing processes to employee engagement and customer satisfaction.

With the launch of its new cross-compact hybrid model, Toyota had to bring together its 1400-strong dealer network and transfer knowledge of the remarkable vehicle. The car’s USP, “If it’s traditional, it is not C-HR,” became the primary direction for all aspects of the event execution.

Training a national group of 1400 individuals who comprise the national sales network regarding a new and strategically crucial new car model required an event with an optimal capacity of no more than 140 at any one time. The decision was to create a ‘residency’ and take over the venue to embody this direction.

The innovative approach surpassed expectations, revolutionising dealer training and establishing a new industry standard.
