While developing the Org Topologies change method and writing the #10XORG book, we have come up with the concept of Elevating Katas.
The term kata comes from martial arts, where it describes a practiced sequence used to build skill and judgment through repetition.
In Org Topologies, Elevating Katas serve the same purpose: they provide a practical way to evolve an organization deliberately, without relying on one-off transformations or wholesale reorganizations.
The 10X Org principles set direction. They clarify what matters and what trade-offs are being made. The Katas make that direction actionable. Rather than prescribing best practices, Katas create safe, repeatable ways to reshape structure, mandates, roles, processes, and incentives—while learning from real work.
This catalog of katas is now tightly integrated with the upcoming book chapters.
