How do you define learning?
Once upon a time, like in Little House on the Prairie Days, learning meant teachers stood in front of a classroom and drilled data and “facts” into their students.

We used to think…
…there was a “single right answer” to every question, and good students remembered them.
George Washington was our first president.
When’s recess?

Things are less certain now…
…and there’s too much to know. Instead of just memorizing data and apparent facts, we can learn how to learn.

The focus of learning is shifting…
…but our education system hasn’t caught up yet.

Many managers haven’t caught up yet either…
…managing as if there is a single right answer to every question……thinking managing means providing answers.

Instead, you can teach how to learn
Today, effective teachers, mentors and coaches guide mentees in how to solve their own challenges instead of providing answers.
Have you searched the error message?
That’s a great way to learn about and solve problems.

And effective managers operate that way too
Use the pattern of the Improvement Kata.
That’s a great way to learn about, and solve
problems.
I’ll coach you.

Knowing how to learn…
is about more than asking
questions.
I wonder what this came from. Let’s find out!
I call that:
A Journey of Discovery

You can use a kata to practice and teach scientific inquiry
If Toyota can make it work, I can
too.
Practicing the Improvement Kata
develops inquiry skills
I call that:
Kata Questing
![Page 11: Learning to learn with the improvement kata](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061109/544522a1b1af9f4f6c8b46dc/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Kata takes our discussions out of the clouds of abstraction…
“SYSTEMS THINKING
“
“In principle…”
““Ideally”
““Generally…”
““Theoretically”
“LEARNING
ORGANIZATION
“LEAN
THINKING

…into concrete, practical reality
Let’s change your grip and
see what happens.

Practice makes inquiry a habit
What’s our target condition?
What’s our current reality?
What obstacle are we addressing now?
What is our next step? What do we expect?
Forget the sledge hammer. We’ve
got a kata.

Kata leads to a sense of self-efficacy, or what I call high Kata Quotient (KQ)
You want me to what? I’ve never done that before but I can learn.
I don’t know the answer, but I
know how to find the answer. I don’t have
those skills yet, but I can develop
them. I call that being a:
Kata Quester

Knowing how to learn
makes us more
comfortable stretching
our abilities daily
![Page 16: Learning to learn with the improvement kata](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061109/544522a1b1af9f4f6c8b46dc/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

That also empowers us to guide others
The Improvement Kata guides deep learning.
The Coaching Kata guides the process
of helping others learn to learn.

I’m feeling
smarter already.
So THAT'S what Rother was saying.
Your Kata Quotient (inquiry ability) matters more than how much you know

Kata Questing is an excellent habit
We inquired our way into
success! Great kata!
