Kata coach Beth Carrington and Patrick Adams explore the difference between simply executing action plans and developing scientific thinking through by practicing the Improvement Kata and Coaching Kata.
The conversation breaks down how experimentation creates better long-term learning and adaptability. Beth describes how leaders can use simple coaching routines to help their team think more scientifically, solve problems more effectively, and stay focused on desired outcomes rather than just completing tasks. Beth discusses why she thinks AI may increase the need for experimental thinking and continuous learning.
If youโve struggled with teams becoming too narrowly task-focused and wondered how to build stronger capability of learning and experimentation, this 19-minute podcast provides a practical framework to help you do that.
