Attendees at Dorsey's Improvement Kata/Coaching Kata Learning Session

Michigan Lean Consortium Annual Conference

“I really appreciated her [Dorsey’s] approach of teaching and coaching us through the process. Her style was very engaging which helped us dig deeper. When we started it was difficult to define our current condition and we had some resistance on our team. Dorsey guided us to work through strategies until we had THE breakthrough! Dorsey continued with us through all of the stages of the Kata. We made significant improvement on a topic that initially was not viewed as a problem related to the actual process we currently had in place but our metrics and data told us there was a problem. Learning the Kata was a great experience and extremely valuable to our organization. We are grateful for Dorsey’s expertise and continued support.”
