A structured routine for conducting PDCA experiments -- and for acquiring new habits of thinking and acting -- that anyone can use right now. This SlideShare shows you how to use the PDCA CYCLES RECORD + the FIVE COACHING KATA QUESTIONS and includes two short instructional videos. This is about repeated, coached practice of structured Improvement Kata & Coaching Kata routines, as a means for developing more systematic & scientific skills, mindset and culture.

ITʼS THE SCIENTIFIC LEARNING CYCLE
These steps comprise the scientific process of acquiring knowledge;
by comparing a prediction with what actually happens. The PDCA
cycle provides a practical means of attaining your target condition
by giving you a systematic way of working through the grey zone.
Letʼs take a closer look at how PDCA actually works...

Reflect on the Last Step Taken
Because you donʼt actually know
what the result of a step will be!
1) What did you plan as your
Last Step?
2) What did you Expect?
3) What Actually Happened?
4) What did you Learn?
