Lean Kata - Carlos Martin - Bog

Today, companies in any sector need to improve their processes, develop their strategies and achieve their objectives in order to be able to face today's changing and uncertain landscape with greater strength. But we are focused on implementing all kinds of tools, new 4.0 technologies and we still pay little attention to people. We need to move the focus of Lean "from processes to people", because they are the ones who must be able to transform the company and lead the challenges of the future. It is at this point that the following three questions are raised: Are we trained to achieve challenges? Can we change our habits to overcome obstacles? Can a methodology transform the culture of a company? Beyond Lean, this book introduces the reader to Lean Kata, which allows teams to improve the processes of their companies and achieve their strategic challenges through the practice of katas (exercises whose repetition allows them to achieve new habits). The ultimate goal is to generate skills and enhance people's leadership. The continuous training of the techniques developed in this book makes possible the cultural transformation necessary to successfully overcome the challenges of the future. In an ever-changing environment, it is necessary to know how to evolve from processes and tools to people. The adoption of Lean Kata by all types of companies in different sectors makes it possible to achieve the required objectives and quickly obtain organizational and business benefits. The key to Lean Kata is people, getting them to learn, practice intensely and lead, to obtain from them their full potential to get them to implement a system that allows a perfect execution, thereby achieving continuous learning and winning organizations.
