This document discusses the evolution of understanding about Lean. It argues that Lean is more about continually striving towards improved value delivery through challenges and target conditions, rather than just eliminating waste. Striving towards improved "1x1 flow" - providing exactly what the customer wants, when and where they want it - is an inevitable trajectory, as customers' desires change. True innovation happens through day-to-day iteration towards goals across an organization. Management's role is to systematically pursue improved conditions by coordinating people's capabilities.
In its first 25 years there have been many definitions of 'Lean,' typically centered around cost reduction or tool/technical in nature. But the idea of "Humans striving to better flow value to a customer" is a mindset that should perhaps underlie all of them, and may be a better place to start our thinking.
This was a keynote presentation at the 2013 AME Annual conference in Toronto. Kata Walks are a more focused alternative to Gemba Walks, and a type of structured practice of the Improvement Kata and Coaching Kata patterns.

The routines of the Improvement Kata and Coaching Kata teach scientific thinking & acting, and can be practiced any time you face a problem, goal or challenge.
We often have a fundamental misunderstanding of what Lean is in practice. We mistake Lean solutions for the process that leads to the results. Instead, Kata gets into how to develop the less visible but essential scientific thinking that underlies Lean practices and the Lean results that we see.
The reality is that very little that you see at a Toyota site is the result of one person with a big idea that got standardized across locations. More often, what you see is today’s condition, which is the result of many cycles of experimentation aimed at a particular goal and challenge.
Kata is about the road to developing your own solutions, again and again! The Improvement Kata and Coaching Kata are a management system that coaches people for continuous improvement and achieving ambitious goals in all aspects of an organization.
I gave this presentation at Agile Noida 2016. Toyota Kata, as articulated by Mike Rother, is an approach to establish a culture of Continuous Improvement. In this talk, I have tried to identify a few simple practices that Lean/Agile teams can adopt to help establish a Continuous Improvement culture.
Summary of Toyota Kata by Mike Rother with excerpts from Puppet Lab 2016 State of DevOps report and questions about SaaS vs. Manufacturing and using kata for DevOps.
What really keeps performance from slipping back? Mike Rother of the University of Michigan, and Jeff Uitenbroek from Modine Manufacturing Company suggest that the “wedge” of standardization that we’re taught will keep improvement from rolling back is a mistaken idea.
They suggest that a standard is more like a target condition, and that the only way to maintain gains is to keep improvement moving forward.
This is an issue Jeff and Mike feel the Lean community should now be talking about, and the AME LinkedIn group has first crack at discussing it. Comment here or go to LinkedIn groups and search for Association for Manufacturing Excellence.
Toyota Kata Presentation for ITSM.fi TOP 10 ConferenceTeemu Toivonen
A presentation about Toyota Kata for the ITSM.fi TOP 10 Conference. The presentation covers:
* What is a learning organization
* Introduction to Toyota Kata and mapping it to the learning organization model.

I was CO-PMO for the recent PMConclave Dec 2012 event from PMI Mumbai Chapter. Theme of the event was "Delivering business results through agility". We had organised pre-conference "introduction to agile" sessions for all early bird registrants. This is the presentation that I had used.
On the 20th Anniversary of the book "Learning to See" Mike Rother and Jeff Liker reflect on what they've learned about turning value stream maps into reality. In the community of Toyota Kata practitioners, VSM has evolved to fill a particular role (as described in this SlideShare) rather than being a thing unto itself. TK practitioners tend to use VSM *within* the context of a way of striving for goals - i.e., within TK's scientific way of working and thinking.

Two Mindset Obstacles to Effective LearningMike Rother
This SlideShare looks at two common mindsets that inhibit learning of new skills. Any team or organization that wants to develop a culture of continuous improvement will do well to use some structured practice routines -- Kata -- for developing scientific skills, especially at the beginning.

How to Deploy the Improvement Kata v7.0Mike Rother
This SlideShare is a detailed description of how to deploy a Coach/Learner structure in your organization, to teach people in the scientific patterns of the Improvement Kata and Coaching Kata. We've been evolving this SlideShare based on our experiences since it was first posted in 2011. Use it as a guide for your own deployment efforts!
Value Stream Mapping (VSM) is intended to be used as a tool and practice in conjunction with a systematic, scientific improvement process like the Improvement Kata / Coaching Kata. A future-state map 'connects the dots' of individual improvement efforts by giving them a common challenge to strive for.
A "Growth Mindset" is what practicing the Improvement Kata generates. This infographic by Nigel Holmes illustrates Carol Dweck's mindset concepts. It can be purchased as a poster at: http://www.zazzle.com/mindsetworks

Case Selection and Process Identification
Objectives
This assignment helps you develop the skills to master the following course
competencies:
o Develop innovative and sustainable solutions to strategic and global operations
management challenges.
o Apply theories, models, and practices of global operations management to
address business problems.
o Communicate in a manner that is professional and consistent with expectations
for members of the business professions.
Overview
In your assignments throughout this course, you will build an operations improvement
plan (OIP) for a company of your choice that is facing, or recently faced, an operations
challenge. If you have not already done so, take some time now to read all of the
assignments for this course. Each of the first five assignments represents a component
of a typical OIP. For the Unit 6 assignment, you will improve, revise, and compile your
work to deliver a finalized OIP, incorporating updates and focusing on the message you
want to deliver to the organizational leaders at the company.
With this first assignment, you will choose your company and state the specific
challenge it is facing. You will also need to identify two organizational processes that
you believe would be worth addressing.
The assigned readings for this course are a starting point for your research, but it will be
necessary for you to conduct further independent research on the subject in order to
build your OIP. The Capella library is a recommended source of scholarly and
professional information on the subject. You are required to search information related
to the industry of your selected company by using The Wall Street Journal. At least one
case or article from The Wall Street Journal is required to be cited and listed in your
reference section.
Guidelines for Choosing a Client Company
The organization you choose to research and to build your operations improvement
plan for in this course will be referred to as your client company. What type of company
and challenge will suit your project in this course? Read the instructions for the Unit 6
assignment, Operations Improvement Plan, before selecting your client company. Below
are a few other guidelines for choosing a company that is likely to be successful for this
project:
o You may choose any organization that offers some kind of products or services,
as long as:
The organization is large and/or complex enough to require strategic
operations management processes.
You can find sufficient information about the organization to fulfill the
tasks outlined in the Unit 6 Operations Improvement Plan instructions.
If you choose an organization that you have worked for, or are personally
connected to, be sure to follow the privacy guidelines of that organization.
Contact your instructor if you have questions.
o Your client company should be facing a challenge that suits the ob.

Environmental Commitments in Global Business
May 13, 2009
//by Masamitsu Sakurai
Masamitsu Sakurai, Chairman of Ricoh, Chairman of Keizai Doyukai, and listed on
Ethisphere’s 2008 100 Most Influential People in Business Ethics, says Companies are
going to have to respond to a “Post-Kyoto” world. The expectations of this new world will
now be far more demanding in terms of emission reduction targets and the need for total
participation, feasibility and fairness. In addition to these new global demands, corporate
executives will still be expected to manage the continuous growth of their business.
The pressing concern of the world right now is how to minimize the effects of global warming.
To achieve this goal, the emission reduction targets for each country should be much higher than
Kyoto levels. Such targets cannot be reached through regular efforts, something extraordinary is
required. This is where innovation comes in.
In this context, the role of business is growing fast. First, each corporation must set its own
targets with an aim to contribute sufficiently to the global reduction tally. It’s the only way.
Every business must take on these challenges through technological process innovation.
Eventually, low carbon products and services will result from ever lower low-carbon production
processes. By building product recycling systems, there is no reason why we shouldn’t be able to
reduce green house gases on the one hand while growing the economy on the other.
We have no time to waste when it comes to environmental protection. The role and
influence of corporations is becoming greater.
I became president of Ricoh in 1996. At that time the situation in the industry was one of
cautious steps toward conservation, with prevalent concerns about costs and the effects on the
bottom line. This kind of mentality, even within our company, risked driving the costs ever
higher. I strongly believed, even then, that on the contrary, environmental conservation would
result in decreased operational costs. This is the message I kept repeating to our directors,
employees and shareholders. Little by little I proved this to be the case by taking actions even on
a small scale.
At Ricoh, environmental conservation went through three stages: The first stage, the Passive
Stage, consisted of following regulations and reacting to outside pressure like “green
procurement.” The next stage was the Proactive Stage where, as volunteers, we became imbued
with a sense of mission regarding our planet. Through stage two, our efforts were not yet
profitable. Finally, at the third stage, the Responsible Stage, we were able to simultaneously
achieve environmental conservation and profit creation. This advanced stage is where Ricoh is
now. The results of our activities during the Responsible Stage are published annually in our
Sustainability Report and are very well received by our stakeholders.

There have been many definitions of 'Lean,' often centered around cost reduction, tool/technical in nature, or describing its elements. But the idea of "Humans striving to better flow value to a customer" is a mindset that should perhaps underlie all of them, and may be a better place to start your Lean Thinking. First published in 2014.
The book 'Learning to See' helps you create a shared picture of delivering customer value. The follow-on book 'Toyota Kata Culture' shows you how to get there.
To get better at scientific thinking begin with these Starter Kata, and build on them once you master their patterns. Instructions for each Starter Kata (and much more) are in the 'Toyota Kata Practice Guide.' Download and use these PowerPoint slides if you like.
There's a lot of interest in what the Coach/Learner dialog looks like when it's extended up-and-down across the levels of an organization. This SlideShare shows you how that works.
Want to be an effective Improvement Kata coach? Starter Kata are practice routines of fundamentals that help you develop new habits of acting and thinking. Establish a baseline of fundamental skills, and then build on it and advance your coaching skill development.
Kata are a starter—establish a baseline and then build on it and advance in your skill development. A common error is thinking of Kata as the recipe of the end game, so we're using the phrase "Starter Kata" to make it more clear. The approach is that people trying to change behaviors and learn new skills benefit from a simpler starting point.
Value Stream Mapping (VSM) is intended to be used as a tool and practice in conjunction with a systematic, scientific improvement process like the Improvement Kata / Coaching Kata. A future-state map 'connects the dots' of individual improvement efforts by giving them a common challenge to strive for.
Children seem to be naturally curious and try things in a kind of scientific manner, but as we get older this exploratory mindset seems to fade. Why does this happen? (For more on this subject watch the 5-minute video at: www.tinyurl.com/CuriosityVid)
A structured routine for conducting PDCA experiments -- and for acquiring new habits of thinking and acting -- that anyone can use right now.
This SlideShare shows you how to use the PDCA CYCLES RECORD + the FIVE COACHING KATA QUESTIONS and includes two short instructional videos.
This is about repeated, coached practice of structured Improvement Kata & Coaching Kata routines, as a means for developing more systematic & scientific skills, mindset and culture.

If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.
