The training focuses on executives and develop their skills to improve processes and teach a scientific approach to problem solving for their subordinate executives. The goal is to teach a coherent, efficient and shared way of working across the organization.

Managers are carefully prepared for their roles in a learning organization to be internally motivated to meet the challenges of everyday practice. They learn how to properly assign challenges, collaborate and teach their leaders in a systematic scientific approach.

By introducing the daily routine of executive coaching meetings in the workplace, Kata coaching leads to the development of desirable patterns of behavior, thinking and internal motivation every day to be better. Practicing desired behavior must be part of usual daily work. Improvement Kata allows not only to meet the desired goals, but also to develop people working on them and continuously improve processes.

We also offer a comprehensive Kata Coaching program to introduce a culture of systematic process improvement right in your organization.
