==== 🧠 Summary ====

✔ Kawase’s book reframes problem solving as a human-driven, context-based, continuous capability rather than a technical specialist task. nraoiekc.blogspot.com<ref>{{cite web|title=nraoiekc.blogspot.com|url=https://nraoiekc.blogspot.com/2013/|publisher=nraoiekc.blogspot.com|access-date=2025-12-27}}</ref>
✔ The book’s chapters progressively build from redefining problems, empowering workers, simple tools, culture change, and management’s role in sustaining improvement. nraoiekc.blogspot.com<ref>{{cite web|title=nraoiekc.blogspot.com|url=https://nraoiekc.blogspot.com/2013/|publisher=nraoiekc.blogspot.com|access-date=2025-12-27}}</ref>
✔ When compared with Lean, Kaizen, and Six Sigma, the human-centered approach sits as a philosophical foundation with pragmatic simplicity, ideal for cultural improvement and embedding a mindset of ongoing problem ownership.

If you want, I can also turn this into a visual study guide, a set of flashcards, or a chapter summary handout you could use for training teams.
