Come and join us to experience practices to coach managers to coach their teams. Using #kata, #Product and #agile teams practice coaching interactions with their managers that can make experimentation their way of daily work.

Friday is Kata dojo day at #Volkswagen #Sarajevo. Today we did some reps with TC reference answer, and we started to tackle Phase 3, obstacle question. We are repeating exercises due to the 3 week pause over vacation.

@2019annhill @RealMikeRother Being a learner is invigorating , this is how we self-actualize, grow and build confidence.

Kata Lab takes place in Ann Arbor. That’s where Prof. Jeff Liker lives, so here here is presenting at Kata Lab today.

@RealMikeRother Also, having dynamic challenges can mean managers are more in empowering teams by translating business priorities to team's challenge frequently.

[Kata School Midwest @KataSchoolMW]

@RealMikeRother May be because of the challenge of today is different from that of a year ago. I think ignorance is relative to the challenge at hand, the more dynamic the challenge the more often we would grow.

The exact path cannot be known in advance, so one of the most useful things we can teach is how to navigate.

[Mike Rother @RealMikeRother]

You don't have to be a professional scientist to think scientifically. Scientific thinking is a life skill for everyone.

@jochenkrebs @RealMikeRother @tilo_schwarz @DeondraWardelle I wii be attending

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

A mark of an open mind is being more committed to your curiosity than to your convictions.

The goal of learning is not to shield old views against new facts. It's to revise old views to incorporate new facts.

Ideas are possibilities to explore, not certainties to defend.

[Mike Rother @RealMikeRother]

Why practice scientific thinking? Deliberately practicing the items on the left makes them more habitual, more fast-thinking. Then your slow-thinking cognitive capacity gets freed up to work with info that questions / observations / perspective change / reflection deliver to you!

[Kata School Midwest @KataSchoolMW]

Team members evolve how they interact to align with their Direction. This new form of interaction emerges different type of expertise that cannot be otherwise acquired.

@tilo_schwarz First, grasp the current-condition before jump to a solution

[Mike Rother @RealMikeRother]

Every team has the potential to improve, adapt and innovate, but it generally takes some concrete learning processes and practices to bring out that capability. Here are the building blocks of Toyota Kata practice for scientific thinking.

@KataSchoolMW Leaving this here and happy to discuss the GDP topic, life enhancement and disengaged "employees" during our scientific discourse.

"To copy is to invite disaster." Edwards Deming.
We are trained to install processes and practices, rather than on a way of thinking that create and evolve them.

Would applying #ToyotaKata help in shrinking the blue zone?
