"These five new courses add examples and framework to our existing Kata training content," explains Kevin Meyer, co-Founder and partner. "They explore areas such as non-verbal communication, kata in non-manufacturing industries such as healthcare, and how kata can address safety problems."
"Kata" is a Japanese martial arts term for practice routines that develop strong, virtuous habits. The term "Toyota Kata", coined by Lean expert Mike Rother, refers to a concept that by practicing improvement routines regularly, the process becomes second nature. Over time, followers of Toyota Kata can develop a scientific approach to thinking critically, solving problems, and making quick decisions about what comes next.
"With more than 1,500 videos now available, we're always looking for ways to make our content easier to find. This is why we consolidated some of our best Toyota Kata-themed content, which was recorded at conferences and during live interviews, into a series of short courses. You'll hear from folks like Mike Rother and will even get to see folks attempt to ride a backward bike!" shares Ron Pereira, co-founder and partner at Gemba Academy.
