SPARK Kata Coaching Record

Here is a useful two-sided coaching record to help you document your Kata coaching cycles.

It includes space at the top to identify your intention for the coaching cycle, and also space at the bottom to record your ‘microlearnings’.

The reverse of the template also includes further intention and reflection questions, designed to help deepen your coaching practice.

Developed by Gemma Jones, based on the work of Mike Rother.

Change

SPARK Change Curve

This curve describes the emotions that we all go through when we experience change.

This is all entirely normal and is to be expected. Some people’s curve will be deeper, some shallower.

The crucial thing is to look around you, at your employees, your co-workers and your friends, and help them when you see them slipping down the slope of resistance or when they are sat down in the valley of despair.

Lean Thinking

SPARK Waste Walk Observation Sheet

Eliminating waste is at the heart of lean thinking. However, it is often hard to see the waste around you, especially if you have worked in the system for a long time.

Taking a Waste Walk is a great way to make the waste visible again.

A Waste Walk is a structured activity where a group of people, ideally 3 to 5, walk a process and specifically focus on looking for waste.

Use this template to record the waste that you find.
