“I’ve had a paradigm shift in goal setting since attending the workshop. The Kata approach’s focus on setting short-term, targeted goals to tackle one obstacle at a time is refreshing. Our usual method was to set objectives extending to 90 days and beyond. Kata’s agility is a game-changer. We’re eager to incorporate the Kata methodology into our lean training and execution framework.”

Why Change Slows Down: What Leaders Do to Sustain Momentum
FREE event hosted by Gemba Academy!
Most change initiatives don’t fail dramatically. They slow down. Momentum fades, leadership reinforcement weakens, and old habits quietly return.
Even well-funded, well-intentioned improvement efforts can lose traction when leadership behaviors and systems don’t consistently support them.
This session explores why change stalls and what leaders do differently to sustain momentum over time.
In one focused session, you’ll gain practical insight into the leadership patterns that either accelerate progress or quietly undermine it.
