Also, check out this site, http://www.lean.org/kata/, which is self-described as “a community laboratory for deliberate practice, where we align to master the fine points of coaching continuous improvement. The purpose is to share ideas and experiences from daily use of the Improvement Kata and Coaching Kata.” It sounds like a great place to meet others in the lean frame of mind. I’ll definitely be going there asap!
