Presentation Title: A3 Thinking: Moving from Paper to Practice to Pattern
Attendees will learn how to teach meta cognitive skill and develop teams to achieve superior quality results by embedding the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) cycle into the daily routine. The goal of A3 Thinking is to focus on cultivating a continuous improvement mindset as a result of frequently practicing a scientific way of thinking and experimenting via the Toyota Kata.
