About Improvement/Coaching Kata

In Japanese language, kata (型 or 形, literally: "form") is a frequently-used phase meaning “way of doing,” with emphasis on the form and order of the process. Other meanings are “training method” and “formal exercise.” While Improvement/Coaching Kata are a systematic approach aim at growing people and maximizing human potential by engaging people to continually improve as part of their everyday work.

Improvement/Coaching Kata is a standard practice in all the Toyota plants. It is a brilliantly simple management system that enables an organization to achieve two equally important objectives:

•       Master challenges that are currently beyond a person’s or a team's ability, and

•       Developing managers, supervisors, and experts as coaches for creating a culture of continuous improvement, adaption, and innovation. This is done through simple, easy-to-learn/use, time-efficient, daily routines.

Based on our own practice in numerous consulting projects this 1-day course provides a unique mix of theory and a hefty dose of hands-on practice (Ball Pen Production Simulation). This intensive course provides a deep dive into two fundamental behavior patterns at the core of the Improvement Kata methodology:

关于 改善/辅导套路

在日语中，kata (型 或 形, 字面意思: “形式”) 意思是“做某事的方法”，强调过程的形式和顺序。其他意思也有“培训方式”和“形式练习”。辅导/改善讨论是一种系统性的方法，通过使员工不断进行改进，并作为其日常工作的一部分，以此来壮大人才并最大化人的潜能。
