This document outlines five key factors for successful deployment of Toyota Kata: 1) relevancy, 2) having the right people in the right roles, 3) close-in target conditions, 4) frequent and rapid PDCA cycles, and 5) purposeful coaching cycles. Advance groups are charged with actively monitoring and guiding the organization's kata deployment to achieve a "tipping point" where kata activities are embedded in everyone's daily work of managing processes and developing people. Keeping these five factors in play will help advance groups drive kata activities from being "something extra" to the "usual thing" that is done.
