Teaching the Improvement Kata to develop scientific thinking through deliberate practice to achieve challenging goals.

[KATASCHOOL-SA @KataschoolSA]

Don’t fall into the trap of #leantools; they can be a #sinkhole! Instead, focus on scientific thinking and maybe use a tool to #experiment with to get you to your #targetcondition.

To learn to think scientifically (and to be scientific), to lead people with respect, to apply and sustain practices that leads to psychological and product flow, one must read. Read to gather the dots, and then write to connect them. Writing is the most profound way to learn.

Reading is collecting the dots where writing is connecting them. - David Perell.

A learning curve by W. Edwards Deming (I think). Nailed it! I especially like the 'real learning begins' bit.

I’m thrilled to announce the re-release of the audiobook version Learning to Lead, Leading to Learn. 🎙In August I re-recorded the whole book in a professional studio, taking it to a new level of audio quality. I would love for you to check it out! https://t.co/cRHSYR8xrm

Experiment, even on useless things as we don’t always know the answer. #ToyotaKata #ImprovementKata

Now, more than ever, we need leaders who lead from the heart ❤️ & from a place of purpose. And who lead with an attitude towards learning. Come accelerate your leadership starting this October in the Leading to Learn Accelerator!

I posit that the hardest part of the Improvement Kata is the study of the initial current condition especially when no process measurements ever existed. It is akin to an airplane taking off with all its shuddering and difficultly in facing resistance to get lift off.

[KATASCHOOL-SA @KataschoolSA]

The operating pattern is the secret sauce within the Improvement Kata. How are you operating today, versus how you should operate in a few weeks time. And does this make sense towards the challenge?

[Tilo Schwarz @tilo_schwarz]

To practice requires humility but it surely isn't a sign of weakness. Many successful people are famously disciplined about practice.

[Mike Rother @RealMikeRother]

Why "target condition" instead of "target"? Outcome targets eg. 'weigh 160 pounds' can't be achieved directly. Work on the operating attributes – the conditions – that generate the outcome. Specify a desired outcome AND the operating pattern you predict will generate the outcome.

@lean_fsl Looking forward to this course!

Learning Power Automate to do those mundane (or very important) activities whilst working on scientific thinking.

[KATASCHOOL-SA @KataschoolSA]

Use the Improvement Kata to take small experimental steps with a scientific mindset to solving problems along the way. And make sure that ladder leans on a well defined challenge! #improvement #scientific #kata
