“Technology has been providing artists with new ways to express themselves for generations, but art, music and tech have become more intertwined than ever before,” said Tom Still, president of the Wisconsin Technology Council. “We will focus on locally born examples and offer some perspectives about what such work adds to the economy as well as our enjoyment of the arts.”

This one-day program intertwines knowledge of the Toyota Kata process and principles with a realistic, hands-on simulation to illustrate the effectiveness and simplicity of Kata, along with the natural integration of TWI as a solution to many of the obstacles tackled in the Improvement Kata. This simulation serves as an introduction and foundation for those in manufacturing, healthcare and service industries.

Seats are limited! This hands-on simulation requires participation. Only 18 seats are available for this event! Check out a TWI + Kata simulation run in Sweden. Cost: $229
