The post Jayanth Murthy CEO of Kaizen Institute for India & Africa on Turning Strategy into Action Through Lean, Low-Cost Execution first appeared on MarcoPolis.

Murthy emphasizes that Kaizen implementation is about “improvement without addition,�� meaning companies can boost efficiency and performance using existing resources, without needing new investments. This focus on no-cost productivity improvement and waste elimination in business is central to their Lean transformation services.

The Kaizen philosophy is deeply rooted in Japanese principles like Muda (waste), Mura (inconsistency), and Muri (overburden), with a strong emphasis on Gemba-based process improvement—observing real work in real places. Through management consulting in India and Africa, Kaizen Institute has worked across diverse sectors including agriculture, healthcare, garments, manufacturing, and government.

With over 90 consultants from 11 countries, the firm operates as a “small multinational,�� using structured methods like value stream mapping and real-time data to drive results. The company conducts weekly internal training reflections to sharpen skills, foster innovation, and promote business process standardization.

Murthy highlights that true transformation comes from involving frontline teams, encouraging a mindset of “learning to see,�� and focusing on resource optimization in operations. In his words, empowering frontline teams and standardizing improvements are vital for resilience and sustainable growth.

Finally, as Kaizen expands in emerging markets like India, Kenya, Ethiopia, and Nigeria, the company is seeking strategic partnerships to scale. Murthy underscores their core belief: efficiency must come before investment, and in a world overloaded with data, leaders must find the “vital few�� insights that drive real change.

The post Stephen Yeboah of Commodity Monitor on Green Gold: Transforming Ghana’s Mining Sector with Mercury-Free Technology first appeared on MarcoPolis.

Founded in 2017, Commodity Monitor operates at the intersection of commodity trading, logistics, and research, bridging producers and consumers across global markets. The company deals in both soft commodities like maize, wheat, cocoa, and soya, and hard commodities such as gold, oil and gas, and renewable energy technologies.

A core focus of the company is its commitment to green mining practices. In Ghana’s small-scale mining sector—which employs over two million people—Commodity Monitor introduced a mercury-free gold processing technology to replace outdated Chinese machinery. This innovation aligns with Ghana’s commitment to the Minamata Convention and addresses the environmental and health hazards of mercury use in gold mining. Their eco-friendly gold recovery system has delivered up to 87% gold recovery, a major improvement over traditional methods.

Stephen Yeboah emphasizes that formalizing small-scale mining through equipment financing, mining cooperatives, and government partnerships is critical for curbing illegal mining (galamsey) and boosting rural economic development in Ghana. The company's model has even been replicated in Zambia, proving its scalability and impact.

Commodity Monitor is also positioning itself as a mine support services provider, registered with Ghana’s Minerals Commission, and extending its services to large-scale mining operations. With support from partners in South Africa, Canada, and China, the company continues to fine-tune its technology, adapting machines to local geological conditions—from Obuasi to Tarkwa, Wa, and the Upper East.

Beyond mining, Yeboah highlights the importance of value addition in agriculture, advocating for local processing in cocoa and cereals. He stresses that Africa’s arable land and smart agriculture technologies, such as AI in farming, should be harnessed to shift from import dependency to export leadership.

Looking ahead, Commodity Monitor’s vision is to become a pan-African engineering company that delivers customized solutions across agriculture, mining, energy, and oil and gas—all while promoting environmental sustainability, local beneficiation, and inclusive growth.
