Welcome!
Hoshin Kanri is the most effective way to create positive organizational change within an organization.
By using Hoshin Kanri organizations are able to convert a company vision to individual responsibility through flexible strategic management. Hoshin Kanri, the Japanese term for policy deployment, is an approach to strategic planning and quality improvement that has become a pillar of Total Quality Management for a growing number of companies.
Hoshin Kanri comes from Japan. It was created by Dr. Yogi Akao after Deming, Juran and others talked to the Japanese about leadership and control. You'll also hear it called Policy Deployment, especially when Hoshin Kanri is used for individual departments. Hoshins, in Hoshin Kanri, are typically the breakthrough ideas that create needed change toward continuous improvement. They can be stretch goals or what the organization must do to survive. Sometimes they are breakthroughs and sometimes they are not.
Hoshin Kanri puts an organization's vision and mission into measurable actions! Imagine having everyone in your organization working towards your company's vision. It's possible when you use Hoshin Kanri methodologies.
We offer training workshops, both web-based and live, and consulting and facilitation of the total strategic planning process.
