So simple, so true!

Why practice practical, everyday scientific thinking with Toyota Kata? To develop mindset that (a) realizes there is always a difference between reality and our perceptions, and (b) is able to narrow that gap.

???????????? ?????? ?????????????? ???? ????????????’?? ???????? ??????????????! ?? Many companies have tried to replicate Toyota's results, yet only a few achieve lasting success. What sets Toyota apart? Surprisingly, it's not only their present strategies but their journey's origins, rooted in the 1950s. Toyota, initially lagging behind Western competitors, faced early struggles that resonate with many companies today. In our latest session, Lean expert Art Smalley will take you back to the foundational days of the Toyota Production System (TPS) to uncover how Toyota paved their path with Lean Stability in the 4Ms of manufacturing. ?????????????????? ???????????????????? ???? ???????? ??????????: Toyota’s initial struggles and what we share with them today. Key strategies Toyota used to build a strong foundation. Why Stability is essential to any Lean journey's success. ?? ????????

Why cultivate scientific thinking habits in your team by practicing Toyota Kata? Scientific thinking gives you a greater sense of control in the face of uncertainty. Not by providing pre-defined answers, but by providing a familiar way to successfully navigate and find answers, a'la: "We don't yet know precisely where we are going nor how we will get there, but we've done this before and we know we can handle it."

Toyota's Kaizen philosophy is a core element of its success. Kaizen: A Japanese term meaning 'continuous improvement,' is deeply embedded in Toyota's corporate culture. It emphasizes small, incremental changes that enhance efficiency, productivity, and quality. Rather than massive, one-time overhauls, Toyota focuses on improving processes every day, involving all employees—from factory workers to top management. #toyota #car #psychology

My first thought was, “welp, that’ll feel annoying af”. Thankfully it doesn’t. I’m talking about the Five Whys Methodology, folks. This method was actually developed by Toyota back in the 1950s to uncover the root causes of problems. When a problem is presented, ask why it’s happening. Then repeat the process (at least) four more times. Places this methodology is useful: everywhere. Market research Discovery calls When my fiance won’t decide on a place to eat (okay, that’s usually me ?? ). But especially while building a brand new product like Saleboat. Five Whys keeps us lean during the learning and building process and prevents our crew from wasting time. Plus, like Saad Khan says, people like it. They’ll jump at the chance to talk about their problems & without knowing it, bring the root cause to your fingertips without fail. ?? ??

In the context of unique change, the journey from current condition to next target condition (articulated as a quarterly OKR hypothesis), is not knowable. It is not a straight path, it is a wiggly path, overcoming obstacles and surfacing unknown-unknowns along the way, in order to optimise for desired outcomes. It is a series of experiments. Attempts to 'stick to the plan', put together at the point of having learnt the least, will not optimise for outcomes. #BVSSH Adapted from Rother, Toyota Kata
