Turning Lean concepts into reality,with the Improvement Kata and Coaching KataCalling all Improvement Kata / Coaching Kata practitioners, and those who would like to be. We're inviting you to the first-ever IK/CK Summit. This event brings together the rapidly growing world of IK/CK users and emphasizes experiential learning so practitioners, trainers and consultants can integrate practice of the IK/CK routines into their teams and organizations. This conference goes beyond concepts by equiping attendees to train and practice at home.

• The conference will be hosted and moderated Mike Rother and Bill Costantino.

• All participants will practice the IK and CK live the afternoon of Day 1, providing a common basis for the sessions on Day 2.

• Keynotes from leading figures in the IK/CK community.

• Hear reports from experienced IK/CK practitioners.

• Pick up tips for your practice and beyond.

• All attendees will take home an "IK/CK Practice Kit".

• And more!
