You will learn the essential Kata concepts, scientific thinking, and the behavioral principles that is the foundation of Kata. The program provides expert guidance in establishing current and target conditions, identifying obstacles, and choosing ideas for the PDCA (plan, do, check, act) cycles. A majority of the time in this learn-by-doing program is spent practicing with hands-on exercises and simulation with mentoring by a TWI Institute Certified Kata Trainer. Upon completion, participants are ready to start practicing the Coaching Kata regularly.
