    Kaizen focuses on continuous, incremental improvement through small changes made by everyone, prioritizing maintaining existing processes. In contrast, innovation emphasizes intermittent, dramatic changes through new inventions by select individuals, preferring to rebuild existing systems. While kaizen requires significant effort but little cost, innovation demands large investments but less effort over time.
