Join Us for our QLD state Kaizen Awards 2026

Join us for a dynamic and engaging forum celebrating Continuous Improvement across Queensland industry.

The IPA QLD Kaizen Awards will bring together leading organisations to showcase their unique approaches to Kaizen and Continuous Improvement, sharing the methodologies, workforce engagement strategies and measurable results that have driven lasting change within their businesses.

This is not simply a competition. It is an opportunity to learn from different perspectives, discover practical ideas and celebrate the many ways Australian organisations pursue operational excellence.

Presentations will be assessed by an independent judging panel against:

· Methodology

· Engagement

· Effectiveness

With awards presented for Gold, Silver and Bronze, along with a special Most Engaging Presentation Award voted on by attendees.

The event will offer a highly interactive environment with plenty of opportunities for networking, discussion and inspiration. Expect practical insights, real-world success stories, a sense of fun, and ideas you can take back and apply in your own organisation.
