A Lean Conclusion
If we only periodically conduct training events or only episodically work on
improvement – and the rest of the time it’s business as usual – then according
to neuroscience what we’re actually practicing is business as usual
If we want a Lean revolution, then we need to
shift emphasis from CI staff-led, episodic
improvement efforts, to daily efforts led by
middle managers.
To make this shift, we must take a slice of each
day and focus on practicing coached,
improvement routines
7. WHAT ARE KATA?
They're practice routines. Kata are structured routines to
practice deliberately, especially at the beginning, so their
pattern becomes a Meta-habit and leaves you with new
abilities
KATA:
• Are for learning fundamentals to
build on.
• Are a way of transferring skills and
developing shared abilities and
mindset in a team or organization.

WE NEED THIS META-COGNITIVE MECHANISM
TO GET THROUGH THE DAY
But it also causes some problems

With additional neuroscience research on skill development, Rother communicates at the core of his book, that a Meta-habit can be formed with a structured, spaced routine….ie a “kata” for improvement and for coaching using the 5 TK Questions as a starting structure.
