Also, while I think 現場 does have some sheer genius as a product name, I question the wisdom of using it in an English-speaking market. It would take me five minutes to explain why it's a really good name and, in that time, I should have been selling the actual product rather than the naming decision. Gemba isn't one of the few dozen Japanese words you can reasonably expect college-educated Americans to know. I can guarantee you that even as a Japanese speaker I will botch your romanization the next time I try to talk about this company. Additionally, expect to be "That jewelry thingamagig" if non-Japanese speakers remember the name at all.
Great idea for a service. You might consider eventually creating some resources on how to conduct one of these interviews for the maximum benefit of the company.

- dshanahan 13y agoAgree here. I've looked at the site, read this comment, and gone back up to remind myself but I'm still not sure if it's gemba or gempa. And have zero association with that word.
