#RootCauseRacism is the international effort of thought leaders, organizations and the everyman coming together to discuss, develop, and implement solutions and bringing about real, sustainable change.
​
We're not out to recreate the wheel. Processes already exist to make change happen. We seek to identify the root of the problem, not just the symptoms, and address it.
​
As a practitioner of continuous improvement methodologies, and a fan of the Toyota Kata, I've been able to change my mindset, develop new habits, and establish different behaviors. This is what we need to address and stamp out rampant racism globally: a different way of thinking and something we can apply to our every day lives, both personally and professionally. This is how you create sustainable change.
​
In my post One Small Thing: Sharing our Visions and Voices to #RootCauseRacism on Mark Graban's Lean Blog, I explain how this has touched me personally and how we as a global community of individuals and organizations can understand the challenges of this issue, and determine solutions to bring an end to social injustice and systematic racism. I found I wasn't alone in my thinking.

And a movement was born.
