Lean Learning Patterns. (CPD)nA vs. KATA

Evolving the organization means that developing new capabilities, identifying early and retaining talent are some of the major organizational challenges in the 21st century. Individual learning in organizations is not homogeneous and depends on a number of individual and environmental factors. In this paper, (CPD)nA (Check-Plan-Do-…-Act) is compared from a psychological and managerial perspective to other lean learning patterns (LLP), such as KATA. The purpose is to show the advantages of implementing (CPD)nA in creating the conditions necessary for organizational alignment.
