The KATA exercise combines a practical scientific pattern (the ''Improvement Kata'') with techniques of deliberate practice, to help make scientific thinking a teachable skill that anyone can learn. Teams of students (a) establish a baseline, (b) face a Challenge, (c) develop a next Target Condition on the way to achieving a goal and (d) conduct experiments towards meeting the Target Condition. While the students are engaged in a challenging game they are simultaneously being introduced to a scientific method of problem solving. Students will enhance their thinking skills such as problem solving, critical thinking and decision making. Hands on training delivered onsite for all levels of the company.
