Starting a project like this is a lifetime experience. Upon the impetus of my friend Sylvain Landry, I started to get involved in Kata, and through his insistence, I kept going. My great thanks to the people cited in this Memory Jogger for their help and support in this journey: Frédéric Falisse for making me a better questioner, Beth Carrington for sharing freely, and Mark Rosenthal for his translation and interpretation work on Marc-Olivier's master's thesis that contributed to this Memory Jogger. - Jean-Marc Legentil
Thank you very much to Mike Rother for starting the Toyota Kata movement from which we have all gained valuable personal experience. Thanks also for connecting us as a team to get this project started, and above all for starting my personal Kata expedition by handing me a piece of paper with five simple questions ten years ago. Mike thank you very much for your patience in listening, support, and advice, over the last years. - Tilo Schwarz
Writing this book with a multi-generational and multi-cultural team (Canada, Germany, and United States) has been an amazing experience for us all. We have been able to be complementary and identify the strengths of each other to publish a complete, useful, and rewarding book. We would like to thank Josée-Anne Bergeron for her help during the extensive reviewing process. - Marc-Olivier Legentil
