What I Liked The Most<\/u><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Four steps of the Improvement Kata as a practical, everyday scientific way of thinking and working.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Development of people\u2019s capabilities to continuously understand a situation and improve. Develop scientific skills and mindset in people through the work itself.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Value Stream Mapping for keeping an eye on the overall picture.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Five questions of the Coaching Kata in 20 minutes daily sessions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Problem-solving approach versus hiding the problem and hunting for solutions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Model for changing organizational culture based on repeatedly practicing new behavior patterns.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    – <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    What Important Lessons I Learned<\/u><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Go and see how a process is working to deeply understand the current condition.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Keep the focus on what really needs to be improved by successive target conditions in the direction of a long-term vision.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Rely on facts rather than opinions or judgments.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Change only one thing at a time, so the cause-effect relationship is maintained.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • At Toyota, improving and managing are one and the same.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Prefer constant daily improvement to occasional improvement projects.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
