My company is struggling in a changing marketplace. Can Hoshin Kanri help us stay relevant?

  • The ultimate goal for each company is to build a sustainable competitive advantage. In most cases, ‘how you will get there is clearly articulated through a company vision. But in reality – what most teams lack is an effective process to drive progress and action at every level to get them there.
  • ​Every organization faces the same challenge of not having infinite time, energy, and resources to do everything. It is critical they focus on the vital few versus trivial many programs and initiatives to achieve their long-term business goals and objectives.
  • ​Hoshin Kanri is more powerful than other approaches to strategy execution because it provides a clear, visible cascade of long-term goals linked to short-term targets. More importantly, it makes the necessary distinction of work that drives ‘breakthrough’ (gets you closer to your vision) versus ‘business fundamentals’ (supports your mission)
