Kaizen Institute Thailand, a trusted authority in continuous improvement and lean practices, and BlackStorm Group, a leading business consultancy with a proven model to scale businesses within 100 days, have announced a strategic partnership to integrate AI technologies with lean methodologies. The collaboration was unveiled during the “AI for Leaders: Building Strategies from the Top” event, co-organised with Thailand’s Digital Economy Promotion Agency (depa), marking the first joint initiative between the two firms to showcase their shared vision for intelligent operational transformation.
Project Asia Data, the AI consultancy arm of BlackStorm Group, will lead the AI strategy and implementation efforts. With a dedicated focus on people, product, process, and positioning, Project Asia Data enables organisations to harness artificial intelligence for innovation, optimisation, and long-term growth. In parallel, Kaizen Institute Thailand will provide its deep expertise in Lean KAIZEN and continuous improvement practices to ensure all AI deployments support and enhance existing operational frameworks.
The partnership is centred around three core pillars: diagnosing operational inefficiencies, applying lean principles, and deploying AI solutions tailored to deliver measurable improvements. Through this collaboration, BlackStorm Group brings cutting-edge AI solutions, while Kaizen Institute Thailand ensures that these technologies align with and reinforce continuous improvement objectives.
