HOSHIN KANRI

workshop

Translating "big vision" from strategy to execution.

Description

Hoshin Kanri is a proven and powerful strategic planning and management methodology that helps organizations achieve their long-range goals by aligning their resources, actions and objectives to their vision. It employs a Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle to create a systematic approach that links daily control activities to the company's strategy.

This two-day workshop, based on the works of Yoji Akao and Pascal Dennis, provides a hands-on, step-by-step guide to implementing Hoshin Kanri within your organization. You will learn how to define long-range strategic goals, cascade them into annual objectives, and use the Hoshin Kanri process and tools to create breakthrough objectives through the involvement of the whole management team in the planning process.

In addition, you will learn how to develop effective control mechanisms, including periodic reviews, to ensure that the plan remains on track and that participants are accountable for their part of the plan.

Through this workshop, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of Hoshin Kanri and the tools to apply it in your organization.
