"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.
