Toyota Kata Program - 2-day Workshop cum Training Program

 Many of our thinking patterns live in a self-perpetuating loop. Simply put, everytime we think or do something, we are more likely to do it again. Everytime we think or do something, we are adding more pavement to the roadways of our brain, turning them into highways and increasing the likelihood that we will use those same roads again. They are our habits.The good news is that habits are essential for our survival. The even better news is that many of our thinking patterns can be modified, through a process that resembles skill development in sports and music. You deliberately practice a new behaviour pattern, everyday, and over time, and with the right set of emotions that create new neural pathways and reshapes your thinking.Shifting to a new, life-changing habit all at once, however, is probably impossible, since the strength of our existing neural pathways, our existing habits, tends to pull us back. It is usually more effective to start small, by introducing a few new routines into your daily activity and building on them as your abilities and confidence start to grow.That's where the Kata comes in. These are structured practice routines that out you on the road to successfully developing new patterns of thinking.Practicing the starter kata modifies the mindsets that drive our behaviour, increases the velocity of learning, and is particularly helpful when you want to create a shared way of thinking and acting in a group of people, because everyone starts with the same basics.
