Toyota Kata

The Toyota Kata practice patterns make improvement a top-tier priority. They embed structured, scientific thinking into day-to-day work and quickly establish a culture of continuous improvement and problem solving.

“Practicing causes me to stop and think and do things differently.” (Jonathan Pooch, Deta NZ)

Great intro to Toyota Kata! Oscar is awesome; a great facilitator/teacher.

I want to reiterate my comments regarding the value of the (Toyota Kata Train the Trainer) week we just spent together. I know it was the purpose of the session to prepare us to successfully deliver the 10 hour course but I appreciate the level of commitment you have and show to your pupils. You created a great learning environment.

Thank you so much for the workshop experience at Katacon 2019. I got so much from it and I am excited to begin applying the pattern. I am completely impressed by how you serve others through your teaching and sharing, it is truly admirable. I look forward to listening in on more webinars and podcasts that you present in the future. My deepest thanks!
