Rethinking Toyota's Mountainclimber Diagram
1.
Welcome to www.verbesserungskata.de
Rethinking Toyota’s Mountainclimber Diagram... Gerd Aulinger & Mike Rother Memphis, TN, March 2012 © 2012 Gerardo Aulinger & Mike Rother www.verbesserungskata.de 1
2.
Here´s Toyota´s classic
„Mentor pulling Mentee“ drawing Mentor Mentee © 2012 Gerardo Aulinger & Mike Rother www.verbesserungskata.de 2
3.
Isn´t there something
wrong with this diagram? Why is the mentor ahead? Mentor Mentee © 2012 Gerardo Aulinger & Mike Rother www.verbesserungskata.de 3
4.
Does it mean
the mentor has already figured out solutions ahead of the mentee? Mentor Mentee © 2012 Gerardo Aulinger & Mike Rother www.verbesserungskata.de 4
5.
And if so,
is the mentor just asking rhetorical questions? Wouldn‘t that be disrespectful?? Why would he ask questions if he already has answers? ? ! Mentor Mentee © 2012 Gerardo Aulinger & Mike Rother www.verbesserungskata.de 5
6.
Here´s a different
perspective to consider © 2012 Gerardo Aulinger & Mike Rother www.verbesserungskata.de 6
7.
To solve the
mystery you have to split WHAT you are working on from HOW you are doing it, as described in Toyota Kata WHAT we‘re working on HOW we‘re working on it Don‘t confuse these two things! © 2012 Gerardo Aulinger & Mike Rother www.verbesserungskata.de 7
8.
Yup, the mentor
is „ahead“ in regard to the HOW ? ! Mentor Mentee The mentor is teaching the HOW of the Improvement Kata procedure, which s/he already knows © 2012 Gerardo Aulinger & Mike Rother www.verbesserungskata.de 8
9.
But, actually, the
mentee is ahead on the path of WHAT is being worked on Hmm… ! So, the diagram is reversed, now! ? Mentee Mentor The mentee is doing the WHAT by taking steps and conducting experiments © 2012 Gerardo Aulinger & Mike Rother www.verbesserungskata.de 9
10.
So the mentor
asks procedural questions from behind, while the mentee shares learnings from his last step ! ? Mentee Mentor Ah, now asking questions makes much more sense! © 2012 Gerardo Aulinger & Mike Rother www.verbesserungskata.de 10
11.
In case you
thought you‘re in front… It’s your job to make your mentee successful by giving procedural support... Mentee … and enjoying the tug of the rope Mentor as he strives ahead and pulls you with him. © 2012 Gerardo Aulinger & Mike Rother www.verbesserungskata.de 11
12.
And if you´re
coaching 10 people on the Improvement Kata, it´s like having the power of 11 brains pulling you ahead! © 2012 Gerardo Aulinger & Mike Rother www.verbesserungskata.de 12
13.
Maybe that´s what
Toyota is trying to do! ! ? © 2012 Gerardo Aulinger & Mike Rother www.verbesserungskata.de 13
