Toyota Kata Workshop
Toyota Kata is a structured way for managers and employees to achieve continuous improvement goals with a clear path to get there. According to Mike Rother, Researcher and Author of Toyota Kata, it’s teaching methods rather than solutions which he found to be a key component to Toyota’s efficiency.
Improvement Kata and Coaching Kata are the focus of this workshop to develop your skills for doing and teaching a scientific routine of thinking (kata) in your daily work.
