Toyota improves
• Focused on how Toyota
improves rather than tools
• Similar to scientific thinking,
Toyota Kata uses Coaching
Kata and Improvement Kata

Purpose of Study
1. Identify best demonstrated practices in
deployment, execution, and sustainment
2. Identify why these best demonstrated practices
exist
![Page 9: EXAMINING TOYOTA KATA’S BEST - Gemba Academy€¦ · •Toyota Kata is more difficult for those with low openness to experience and/or low intelligence. Implications: Long-Term](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042207/5eaaa313029c7a1cc85898d8/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Research Question
From practical implementation, what Toyota Kata
deployment, execution, and sustainment insights
can be categorized as best demonstrated practices
and applied to other organizations?

Research Methods
• Radical constructivism was and is my paradigm
• Constructivist grounded theory was my method
• 12 participants had 1 – 10 years’ experience
• Two participants worked with Mike Rother
• Member checks increased research validity

Deployment Best Practices
• The Advance Group was heavily emphasized
• Executive leadership alignment and active
participation within Advance Group is a must
• Advance Group member selection is a science
akin to hiring
• Do NOT select people who need convinced
![Page 16: EXAMINING TOYOTA KATA’S BEST - Gemba Academy€¦ · •Toyota Kata is more difficult for those with low openness to experience and/or low intelligence. Implications: Long-Term](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042207/5eaaa313029c7a1cc85898d8/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Deployment Best Practices
• If no Kata expert, hire an expert to coach your
coaches
• Executive team must clearly articulate vision so
learner-practitioners can align target conditions
• Start small
• Follow the routines in earliest stages
![Page 17: EXAMINING TOYOTA KATA’S BEST - Gemba Academy€¦ · •Toyota Kata is more difficult for those with low openness to experience and/or low intelligence. Implications: Long-Term](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042207/5eaaa313029c7a1cc85898d8/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Execution Best Practices
• Practice deliberately to establish discipline
necessary to support cultural change
• Expand slowly
![Page 18: EXAMINING TOYOTA KATA’S BEST - Gemba Academy€¦ · •Toyota Kata is more difficult for those with low openness to experience and/or low intelligence. Implications: Long-Term](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042207/5eaaa313029c7a1cc85898d8/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Sustainment Best Practices
• Beyond Advance Group, incorporate classroom
training that examines Toyota Kata practice
• After kata-ing the kata, share with new learners
![Page 19: EXAMINING TOYOTA KATA’S BEST - Gemba Academy€¦ · •Toyota Kata is more difficult for those with low openness to experience and/or low intelligence. Implications: Long-Term](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042207/5eaaa313029c7a1cc85898d8/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
You Noticed?
• Deployment best demonstrated practices far
outweighed execution and sustainment
• Research questions were open-ended
• Additional research is necessary for execution and
sustainment best demonstrated practices
![Page 20: EXAMINING TOYOTA KATA’S BEST - Gemba Academy€¦ · •Toyota Kata is more difficult for those with low openness to experience and/or low intelligence. Implications: Long-Term](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042207/5eaaa313029c7a1cc85898d8/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
ANSWERING
THE WHY
![Page 21: EXAMINING TOYOTA KATA’S BEST - Gemba Academy€¦ · •Toyota Kata is more difficult for those with low openness to experience and/or low intelligence. Implications: Long-Term](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042207/5eaaa313029c7a1cc85898d8/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Grouping Themes
![Page 22: EXAMINING TOYOTA KATA’S BEST - Gemba Academy€¦ · •Toyota Kata is more difficult for those with low openness to experience and/or low intelligence. Implications: Long-Term](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042207/5eaaa313029c7a1cc85898d8/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Implications: Constructivism
• Organizations must deliberately act to create the
cultures that sustain Toyota Kata
• Recruit those that support the new philosophy
• Attempt to support those that question the new
philosophy
• Transition out those who are unable or unwilling
to adopt the new philosophy, quickly
![Page 23: EXAMINING TOYOTA KATA’S BEST - Gemba Academy€¦ · •Toyota Kata is more difficult for those with low openness to experience and/or low intelligence. Implications: Long-Term](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042207/5eaaa313029c7a1cc85898d8/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Implications: Metacognition
• William Perry’s Model of Intellectual and Ethical
Development proposed four stages:
• Dualism, multiplicity, relativism, and commitment within
relativism
• The coach helps the learner work through
challenges at each stage
• Therefore, the coach must be at a more
developed stage than the learner
![Page 24: EXAMINING TOYOTA KATA’S BEST - Gemba Academy€¦ · •Toyota Kata is more difficult for those with low openness to experience and/or low intelligence. Implications: Long-Term](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042207/5eaaa313029c7a1cc85898d8/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Implications: Curiosity
• Curiosity is linked to openness to experience, a
personality trait
• Openness to experience is linked to intelligence
• Traits are difficult, if not impossible, to change
• Toyota Kata is more difficult for those with low
openness to experience and/or low intelligence
![Page 25: EXAMINING TOYOTA KATA’S BEST - Gemba Academy€¦ · •Toyota Kata is more difficult for those with low openness to experience and/or low intelligence. Implications: Long-Term](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042207/5eaaa313029c7a1cc85898d8/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Implications: Long-Term Vision
• Long-term visionaries can delay gratification more
easily than those focused on short-term
• Delayed gratification is linked to prefrontal cortex
development and intelligence
• Toyota Kata is more difficult for those with low
intelligence who need instant gratification
![Page 26: EXAMINING TOYOTA KATA’S BEST - Gemba Academy€¦ · •Toyota Kata is more difficult for those with low openness to experience and/or low intelligence. Implications: Long-Term](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042207/5eaaa313029c7a1cc85898d8/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Implications: Collectivism
• Japanese culture is more collectivistic than US
• To emphasize the long-term benefits of Toyota
Kata and impact on society, paradigms must shift
from individualism to collectivism
• Organizations must actively emphasize “We” in
rewards programs, organizational structures,
promotions, and terminations

Action Research
• Delay deployment until senior leadership aligns
• Select participants wisely
• Deliberately create a supportive culture
• Focus 1:1 meetings on cognitive development
