Hoshin Kanri – Strategy Deployment Process
Get everyone in the same direction, and focus on the “vital few” major problems in the organization.
Most organization’s struggle with “getting everyone on the same page” to work towards the right direction. This is what the Hoshin Kanri process is designed to do.
Hoshin is a process that leverages the power of the entire organization, not just a few leaders. It gets everyone in the organization on the same page and the process of catch ball that goes both vertically and horizontally through the organization.
The resulting alignment gets everyone going in the same direction, focusing on the “vital few” major problems in the organization.
The process then taps into the creativity of teams to address these problems by focusing not only on results but on the “process”, which will not only help to achieve the results, but allow the organization to standardize, sustain and share them.
