We tip for coffee. We tip at salons. We (somehow) tip at self-checkout kiosks now. So… why not tip for Kaizen (continuous improvement) activity?
At KaiNexus, we've been thinking a lot (especially at this time of year) about how to recognize improvement work in a way that's meaningful, modern, and maybe just a little unexpected.
Introducing KaiNexTips — a new approach that merges digital tipping with a continuous improvement culture. Is it bold? Yes. Is it backed by data, algorithms, and behavioral economics? Probably. Is it completely serious? Well… you'll have to read it and decide.
“Introducing KaiNexus Tips (KaiNexTips): The Gratuity Revolution for Continuous Improvement”

It just might change the way you recognize improvement. Or at least make you chuckle. Maybe both.
I'd love to hear what you think here or on the KaiNexus blog comments.

Let’s work together to build a culture of continuous improvement and psychological safety. If you're a leader looking to create lasting change—not just projects—I help organizations:
- Engage people at all levels in sustainable improvement
- Shift from fear of mistakes to learning from them
- Apply Lean thinking in practical, people-centered ways
