A Mindset for Improvement

Jul 21, 2022 4:52:00 AM

Does your organization have a mindset for continuous improvement?

The daily routines of your organization shape its culture. Scientific Thinking can be a driver for a continuous improvement culture. One of the best ways to learn how to think scientifically again is by following the set pattern of the Improvement Kata.

The term “kata” means a way of doing so when we say “Improvement Kata” it’s a way of improving.

The Improvement Kata combines a scientific working pattern with techniques of deliberate practice to make scientific thinking a teachable skill that anyone can learn. These foundational thinking patterns are a basis for successfully pursuing seemingly unattainable goals in complex systems, and it enables teams to make decisions and maneuver effectively.

Let’s get your organization filled with individuals that have a focused mindset on continuously improving every day. For more information on using Kata for yourself and your company, contact us.
