Patterns to practice, to create the future!

My name is Mike Rother.  I investigate issues of management,

leadership, improvement, adaptiveness and change.  The

findings explained in the book Toyota Kata will change how

you view management, innovation and lean.  This website

is a companion to the book, where I put things we're learning.


Toyota Kata describes two patterns to practice

-- the Improvement Kata & the Coaching Kata --

to develop more scientific and effective habits

for improving, adapting and innovating.


It's important to realize that it's not solutions themselves that

give us sustained competitive advantage and progress.  It's the

degree to which people in organizations practice, apply and

master a kata for developing solutions and meeting challenges.


It's a process that can be learned and taught.
