I had a great time with my good buddy, Mark Graban, yesterday doing this webinar. It was an experiment, actually. We were attempting to articulate the ways in which Kaizen & Kata reinforce and enable one another. They're not just complementary, and they're certainly not in competition with one another; rather, we believe them to be symbiotic. This is just one attempt at reconciling this in our heads, and we'll continue these types of discussions so that we have a stronger grasp of how Lean systems interact.
