with Toyota Kata
try again. fail again. fail better.
@waynerpalmer
available now from all good (and not so good) book stores for a low low price!
what is kata
borrowing practices may provide some immediate gratification, but are a short
term solution to a long term problem
lean kata
attentive repetition builds skill
Its not how fast you can do it, its how slow you can do it correctly.

attentive repetition builds skill
skills
challenges
anxiety
boredom
learning thru
struggle
There is no substitute for attentive repetition. Nothing you can do is more effective
at building skill then executing the action

we are not in the business of making cars, we are in the business of making money
Striving for

Improvement Kata
survive long term as a company by improving and evolving how we make good
products for the customer
Striving for
a Vision
• zero defects
• 100% value added
• 1x1 continuous flow, on
demand, to the customer
• security for its people
you need to adequately understand the current condition in order to define an
appropriate target condition.
Improvement Kata
It matters more that you take a step, rather than what that first step is

Improvement Kata
do NOT plan or predict the
journey
It is easier to set a target condition than it is to roll up our sleeves and do the hard
work required to achieve it.
Improvement Kata

• What is the target condition?
• What is the actual condition now?
• What obstacles are preventing you from reaching the

• What is your next step? What do you expect?
• When can we go and see what we have learned from
that next step?

Notas del editor

  1. 1000 tiny fixesevery single process attended to every single day <> projects and workshopsconsultants study, to mimic and to codify their system.kata keeps Toyota in harmony with a rapidly changing environmentkata enables people to become skilled at problem solvingproblem solving is aligned to common goalsdescribe talk flow
  2. First discovered kata in Belgium during 2010My immediate, lean/agile world went crazyHakan Forss Jim Benson, PKFlow, striving for improvement
  3. for me, kata is mindsetEveryone kicked toyota’s tyres and looked under the bonnet no one bothered to check the oilflow rack storybeware of the tool headskata removes our dependency on other peoples solutions to other peoples problemskata encourages a long term viewKata asks employees to think, and to make decisions within the context of their own work, in pursuit of the organisational vision
  4. arm foldingour subconscious controls one, our conscious the otherThrough kata people develop subconscious problem solving skillscontinually asking their people to assess and solve problems in their system of work1000 tiny fixes. 1 million a year.An entire workforce skilled at solving problems, in harmony with a constantly changing environmentNoCV – recruit someone who can deep practice, recruit mindset, learn through struggle
  5. Struggling operating at the edge of your ability, makes you smarterPeople enter a goldilocks zone, attentive, hungry, focused – even desperatestaggering babies, learning to walkorganisations can grow in the same wayEvery single improvement is an experiment, an opportunity to succeed or fail
  6. kata is about people & mind-setkata appeals directly to me, and has done since the first readingif you are going to challenge people, you need to know how they workpeople are challenged to reach their full potentialPeople will have a natural bias – challenge needs to be carefully judgedKata cuts to the core of the expectations I have of an organisationChallengingLearningDesire to strengthen its people
  7. Deep practice needs coachesMaster Coaching means knowing where a particular individual is on their journey, to know the next leap that person needs to take and can take.Toyota practice this through something known as the Coaching KataManagement are focused not on the results – that isn’t the point – but focused on how the person went about solving the problemI haven’t discussed ignite too much. Deep practice requires huge amounts of energy, something that comes from a catalyst such as a coach. Belief in a vision perhaps?Lets begin exploring Toyota kata in more detail.
  8. There are two kata – the improvement and the coaching katain consideration of a challenge / visionunderstand where you aredefine where you want to beand run experiments PDCA to get thererepeat forever
  9. My personal bugbearNo one seems to care about vision. They are almost always shelf-ware, and rarely act as a direction giver to an organisationThere is a big difference between a vision which can trigger a primal cue, ignite a passion for challenge in someone, be a real true northLeaders need to embody that vision, and live it on a daily basisNo good having a vision which espouses quality, when as a leader you do nothing to remove impediments which block a team from producing quality workA vision needs to be lived, it needs to be breathed – people in the organisation need to recognise it in their leaders.
  10. Deming's system of profound knowledge in many respects, with an attention to quality, to the system, and to people.Innovation, adaptation and long term thinking are built in1 million small fixes a year are testament to the fact this company lives and breathes its visionWithout a guiding vision, improvement opportunities are evaluated independently as opposed to in hot pursuit of something.
  11. Poor form to try and improve something you do not understandEveryone needs to understand how information and “value” flowsA lot of managers are ignorantusing some lean tools can helpVanguard MethodAim / Customer DemandsVariation Capability / PerformanceFlowYour first few target conditions may well be to establish understanding.
  12. we can now define, and begin taking steps towards your target stateA target state is NOT adopting best practiceA target state is about aspiring to better performanceImprovement Kata inspires adaptation, exploration and learning1-4 weeks in knowledge work world. Perhaps iteration length?Challenge – long way off – 1-2 years?
  13. Develop a HypothesisExecute the hypothesisEvaluate the resultsstabilise the change, begin the cycle againAlways strive for an active experiment
  14. These are referred to as the five coaching kata questions.When a coach asks these, it is not the outcome that is uppermost in their mind, but how they are thinking that is importantEveryone in the organisation has a coach – this is endemic across the organisation
  15. How does this look in practice?I look after 6 agile delivery teams.The shape looks something like this:Everyone executes the improvement kataEveryone is aligned to the visionIteration manager asking the five questions of the delivery team membersDelivery manager asks the five questions of the iteration managerTarget conditions may be different
  16. starting our journeystill striving for consensus on visioncheck back in a year and see where we are last step exposed frailty in previous PDCA cycle
  17. 1000 tiny fixesDo not plan away uncertaintyDevelop the skills you need to subconsciously problem solveLearning to strive for more personally and professionally.
