Description
Hoshin kanri (HK), or strategy deployment, has been an integral part of the company management practices of some of the most successful Lean-practicing organizations. The purpose of this note is to give a very quick introduction to how it has been successfully used in small and medium-sized value streams to inject strategic meaning and tactical understanding to operational strategies and improvement plans.
Done well, HK is an extraordinary tool to help a team develop, adjust, and communicate strategy to meet robust, long-term goals.
