Are you looking to build stronger daily habits as a problem-solving, scientific thinker? Does your Continuous Improvement program truly engage hearts and minds, every day?
Are mentoring relationships designed into your workplace culture?
The Continuous Improvement community is catching on to the power of learning and coaching for true daily improvement. Jeff Liker’s The Toyota Way 2nd Edition puts scientific thinking and the Starter Kata at the center. Kata is a Japanese term that means both practice routine, and the way of doing. The Kata aren't Lean tools, but all the Lean tools play well with the Improvement and Coaching Kata.
If you are a certified Lean expert or simply a curious beginner, how do you learn the Starter Kata as described in Mike Rother's The Toyota Kata Practice Guide? What do you have to unlearn or relearn to make this part of your way of working? Join adult educator and Kata Coach Tracy Defoe for this webinar to find your learning path.
