Make things better each day for me, my team, my company, my community, and the world. And do it with fun and laughter.

Here's a very good new, 27-minute video about Toyota Kata from Professor Sylvain Landry at the HEC Montréal Business School.
Have a look, and if you like it pass it on. 👇

In this excellent 20-min video a former plant manager describes how and why practicing scientific thinking enabled his people to help the site meet some difficult challenges.
This video may be a must-watch for every site manager. Pass it on.

@tilo_schwarz Have a great week!

[Dwayne Butcher @DwayneButcherIN]

@RealMikeRother The Improvement Kata creates a neutral framework to tackle difficult issues. We have far more in common than not and I've long felt IK thinking could create common ground for finding common solutions. It couldn't be worse than our current state!

"Hitachi Acquires Key Industry 4.0 Systems Integrator – Flexware Innovation." What does this mean for Flexware's customers and partners? Very little. Our executive team remains in place as does our talented team of engineers and our support staff. https://t.co/K7LgrcXk69

Looking forward to diving into Sylvain Landry's book, "Bringing Scientific Thinking to Life." Perhaps Sylvain will sign my copy at @leanfrontiers's #KataCon9! https://t.co/RrJiEDNm2S #toyotakata @RealMikeRother

[Dwayne Butcher @DwayneButcherIN]

@Kevin_Meyer Yep. I'd give up my coffee for that!

[Mike Rother @RealMikeRother]

@Kevin_Meyer And it worked?

[Dwayne Butcher @DwayneButcherIN]

A team from @TeamFlexware was happy to participate in a golf fundraiser for The Salvation Army Indiana Division. They were equally happy to get this picture of Nathaniel Scroggins searching for his ball in the creek!

Our teams are getting ready for next week's in-person Ignition Core Training class at the Flexware Innovation office in Fishers, IN. If you didn't get registered before the class sold out, your next chance will be in August. Details coming soon! https://t.co/I7vUm4fZ6E

Did you miss it? If so, catch up with @TeamFlexware's "INSIDER UPDATES," May 2022 edition. Lots of interesting resources for forward-thinking manufacturing executives. https://t.co/jQkPSvIAQJ

[Dwayne Butcher @DwayneButcherIN]

Today was special as I introduced a few co-workers to @SkipSteward and the Baptist Management System! @TeamFlexware is well on our way to creating a truly special management system of our own and today's conversation was good inspiration. Thx Skip! #Toyotakata #TWI

[Mike Rother @RealMikeRother]

We say "Toyota Kata plays well with others." In this video our Kata colleagues @mark_rosenthal and Oscar Roche discuss how TK and scientific thinking support you whatever community you are in... Lean, Six Sigma, Agile, etc. https://t.co/9QIaHaFi00

[Dwayne Butcher @DwayneButcherIN]

When a coworker justifiably questioned the value of an initiative, I explained my thinking and then finished with, "So in the spirit of my favorite business book, #ToyotaKata, let's run the experiment so that we can begin learning!" Thx @RealMikeRother!
