Discover new pathways and propel improvement efforts forward through deliberate structure and routine by employing the Kata mindset. Toyota Kata is a systematic approach that builds habits, allows practitioners to trust their own scientific thinking, and enables the capacity for learning, experimentation and creativity. By engaging leaders as coaches, there is an opportunity to connect the frontline work to the highest organizational objectives. Teams can focus on workable challenges that require a culture of learning. Beginning at the executive level, these culture shifts evolve through the work of daily practice and are as much a means as they are an end result of deliberately developing organizations.
