THE IMPROVEMENT KATADeliberate Practice to Develop Scientific Minds
The Improvement Kata is a process of deliberate
practice to develop more scientific thinking in
groups of people who work together

(1) SCIENTIFIC THINKING AS A LIFE SKILL

• Our perception is a clear lens.• Reasoning is mostly under our conscious control.
ASSUMPTIONS WE NATURALLY MAKE
When the brain receives sensory inputsthe unconscious mind interprets them andbuilds an explanation; quickly filling in gaps without us realizing it.
We wouldn't survive without this unconscious mechanism (too much information & too slow).
But... it also causes us to make errors. Ourpredispositions, natural mental shortcuts andnarratives influence how we see, think and react.
WHAT REALLY HAPPENS: BRAIN ILLUSIONS

Our brain fills in blanks heretoo, but it's a brain error.
We feel pretty sure, but we're wrong.

A COUNTERMEASURE TOEVERYONE'S NATURAL BIASSCIENTIFIC THINKING
Scientific thinking is a routine of intentional coordination between what we think will happen (theory), what actually happens (evidence), and learning from the difference.
What weexpect

"Let's try it and see"

A PREMISE OF THE KATA SUMMITIt's a skill for every day, at work & at home
Scientific Thinking is not just for professional scientists, but an essential & widely-applicable skill for everyone.It's a "Meta Skill" – a universal way of thinking that can be used to avoid cognitive bias anytime we try to solve problems and achieve goals.

WE GET INTRODUCED TO THESCIENTIFIC METHOD IN SCHOOL
A systematic process to investigateand shed light on something that exists
This is the scientific approachused by professional scientists

BUT THERE'S SOME MISMATCH
Why?Rather than investigating and trying to understand – like professional scientists do – our work and personal lives involve pursuing complicated goals.
This classic way of teaching scientific thinking is a goodstart, but it doesn't transfer so well into everyday life

It means that we can't just drop the Improvement Kata pattern (or any new pattern of thinking) by itself into an organization and expect people to now use it to solve problems.
THIS HAS SIGNIFICANT IMPLICATIONS
There's a process of developing the necessary scientific mindset in individuals via coached practice, while Learners work on real goals & problems.
"It takes conditioning to make behavioral routines become second nature, and consequently a lot of Toyota’s managerial activities involve having people practice the Improvement Kata with their guidance."
- Toyota Kata, page 186
This defines the manager's job

Scientific Thinking is not new.
Deliberate Practice is not new.
However, combining them is unique!
You have an opportunity...to maybe change the world a bit!
