In this session, Mike Rother will discuss the research findings behind his books, Toyota Kata, the Toyota Kata Practice Guide, and Toyota Kata Culture.
Katas are simple practice routines that help you establish a baseline of fundamental skills, which you can then build on. Toyota Kata is about individuals, teams, and even entire organizations practicing scientific thinking skills, to enable them to achieve all sorts of challenging goals.
One of the most valuable skills you can have is the ability to adapt. Scientific thinking is exactly that. The practice routines of the Improvement Kata and Coaching Kata help make you better at improving, adapting, innovating, and achieving whatever you set out to do. Integrated into your normal daily routine, Toyota Kata turns scientific thinking into a practical skill anyone can learn.
