“The Scientific Thinking course through the Kata School provides a very practical approach to navigating the myriad of complex decisions businesses faces in the modern world. I was able to take the real-world, practical learnings and immediately apply them to some of the major challenges the Senior Leadership Team were facing. It is difficult to predict what will happen next in this ever changing world, but Scientific Thinking creates an ethos of experimenting, measuring and adjusting, which facilitates decision making and makes businesses more agile.”

Steve Monu – Kone. Scientific Thinking, Wellington 2020

The Kata School Training on Scientific Thinking was an opportunity to learn a new way of thinking around continuous improvement. I’m excited to use this way of thinking because it grows the strength of our team and gives all of us the tools to problem solve and overcome difficult situations. I have started using this in my daily operations and personal life and I am grateful for what I learnt on the Training. The pattern of thinking and practical demonstrations were really easy to understand and enjoyable. A Big thank you to Frans, Darren and Oscar who were very knowledgeable and approachable , I would recommend this course to all.

Drew Roberts – Scientific Thinking, Wellington November 2020

“ The Kata training was the perfect mix of theory and practicable learnings. The concept of science based thinking was clearly communicated, the practical training session was simple yet effective. I’m looking forward to using the newly acquired skills in the future. I would encourage people to attend the course and look to take colleagues with them to continue the learning in their workplace.”

It definitely met our expectations… the ideas are simple but powerful… after one week we could start a trial with two teams.

The session touches on the basic foundations of understanding Kata. Even if you haven’t read the book yet, participants at any level or role in the organisation can easily grasp what it is all about and you will feel the excitement of applying it when you go back to work. But of course practice is the key.
