Frequently Asked Questions
I am a Senior Leader/ Executive who wants to learn more about Hoshin. Is this course right for me?
Yes – this course is especially for you!
A Hoshin implementation will never succeed without executive buy-in and support. It is imperative you accelerate through the change curve of unaware, aware, understanding, believe, and act. There is no single ‘lean practitioner’ or ‘hoshin expert’ who can replace what you bring to the organization when it comes to how the business should be run. Your knowledge and understanding is crucial to success and this cannot be delegated.
The ideal formula would be for you to attend with your ‘chief facilitator / change agent’ or most senior ‘lean leader / professional’ who can make Hoshin Kanri a reality within your team.
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)
I am an seasoned Lean Six Sigma / Operational Excellence / Continuous Improvement professional. Should I still take this course?
As most ‘process professionals’ grow in their careers, it becomes more important to ensure improvements are targeted to the ‘heart of the organization’ This is where Hoshin Kanri comes into play and serves as the next step in your career development.
What is Hoshin Kanri?
Hoshin Kanri is a strategic planning method that aligns an organization’s goals (the “why”) with actionable plans (the “how”) across all levels.
