kaipability: canonical definition and etymology (v1.1)
Canonical definition of the term kaipability (noun): the capability to change capability — the ability of an organisation to change what it can make or do, repeatedly, without losing what it already does reliably — by taking in new technologies, processes and skills, and adapting the ones it has. Etymology: from kai (改, change, reform, correction), the shared character of kaizen (改善, small continuous improvement) and kaikaku (改革, transformation), + capability. This versioned record establishes the canonical definition for citation purposes. The reference source is the Kaipability Lexicon at https://www.kaipability.com/lexicon/kaipability/
