Kata Process
Develop a Culture of Continuous Improvement
The Kata Process is a structured, repeatable approach to building improvement habits across your organization. Rooted in scientific thinking, this method helps teams tackle challenges, navigate change, and develop daily problem-solving skills that stick.
Dave Machovsky, CEO, Mindset Innovations Consulting
“You don’t need more urgency. You need more clarity. The best leaders aren’t fixing the fire; they’re fixing the system that allowed it to start.”
Did you know the Kata Process is inspired by the improvement routines developed at Toyota? Popularized as Toyota Kata, this approach encourages continuous learning, adaptability, and small, consistent steps toward bigger goals.
Today, organizations use the Kata Process to create a culture of improvement that sticks. Daily practice and coaching help teams build problem-solving skills over time.
