Types of A3 Reports A continuing problem we see with A3
reports is the mistaken assumption that there is only one way to write
the report or one
corporate template that practicioners must use. There is always value
in standardization however enforcing one template will cause as many
problems as it will solve. We titled our book "A3 Thinking" for
a reason. The authors of the reports have to think and figure out what
works best for their respective situation. No two reports will ever
look exactly the same. Instead of enforcing a certain template we
provided several different examples and loosely referred to them as
problem solving reports, implementation or status review reports, or
proposal reports. Each of these has a different purpose and hence
framing mechanism. For
interested
parties here are some of the examples we included in the
book. There is no reason for yours to mimic these in terms of the
exact headings or contents. However all good A3's adhere to the seven
elements we address in the book and other criteria. Please visit the A3
Thinking Blog for more
discussion on these elements and criteria. Here are also some links to examples
of different formats. Problem
