Niklas Modig, a renowned authority in lean and operational excellence, dedicated his research career to the study of innovation and operations management at the Center for Innovation and Operations Management at Stockholm School of Economics from 2003 to 2018. With his extensive knowledge and expertise, he has become a leading figure in the field.
Niklas Modig's passion for Japanese culture and language led him to spend significant periods living in Japan, where he immersed himself in the study of the language. As a result, he is now fluent in reading, writing, and speaking Japanese.
His time in Japan also provided him with the opportunity to collaborate with Professor Takahiro Fujimoto, the foremost Toyota researcher of all time, at the "Center of Excellence – Manufacturing Management Research Center" at the University of Tokyo from 2006 to 2008. During his research at the University of Tokyo, Niklas Modig was granted an exceptional privilege as the first and only foreign researcher in the world to gain access to conduct an in-depth study of Toyota Motor Corporation's most high-performing service systems. This unique opportunity allowed him to spend countless hours inside Toyota, exploring the depth of their philosophy and gaining invaluable insights.
