By IIL Europe Ltd

Toyota Kata - What is it. Where Might it Fit. and Why? Future solutions are getting less and less likely to be ones we've used before. And even if we can draw on 'experience', it may represent the lowest form of innovation which may not be good enough; we are limiting ourselves to only what we know now.Agile is about mindset, not about process.

So the most important question becomes, 'How might we develop an Agile mindset?'The connection between Agile and Toyota Kata is intriguing. When you look into why, it's actually quite plain and simple. Further, when you have an understanding of Toyota Kata, how it came about and why, then its potential value to those adopting Agile shines through even more so. You will recognize the potential of the 2 unintentionally hidden managerial routines at Toyota from which 'Toyota Kata' was born."One of the best, compact introductions to Toyota Kata that I've seen!" (Quote by Mike Rother, author of 'Toyota Kata', following a presentation by Oscar in Austin TX in Feb 2020.)
