Continuous improvement, kaizen is a matter of all and at heart of iT management nowadays. Worldwide people have never work that much for such a less productivity.
In this context, how to transform a taylorism "command-and-control" culture into a problem solving culture w/o big upfront budget or analysis but scientificaly, through observations, step by step, little by little so that knowledge employee grow their creative muscle over memory muscle leading always to same solution.
This 40min talk is about a year long journey of a software team which sets a vision where to go (north star), defines its working standards, practices together (dojo) and starts making the bridge btw day to day problems and strategic company objectives through mojito-practice mixing OKR - Objective & Key Results - and kata, team iterative improvement practice first seen in Toyota production system based on A3 for PDCA systemic approach.
Along the road, team and its leader not just grow software knowledge and practices but stronger relationship, focus both agile and V-cycle team on continuous improvement, overcome culture and language (cross-cultural paradigm failure) and kill turn over despite very competitive environment. But above all, learn to solve problems by their own.
