The 7-step Hoshin Kanri process aligns the Breakthrough and Continuous Improvement initiatives from all levels of the organization with the senior leader’s business goals and strategic objectives, then puts in place the processes to ensure achievement of the goals.

Starting with the organization’s mission and vision articulating a credible, realistic and attractive future state, or “True North”, tools such as Value Stream Mapping and SWOT Analysis are used to clearly define the current state and identify the improvement opportunities that need to be addressed establishing the pat to the desired future state

Communicating this throughout the organization enables each layer and department within the organization to set their objectives and establish their plans aligned to True North. Using tools such as the X-matrix and the Catchball process ensures there is within-function as well as cross-functional alignment with clearly defined resource and support requirements and a shared responsibility to achieving the business goals.

Review processes, including status of strategic initiatives and KPI’s, audit progress towards the goals and enable countermeasures to be applied as required to stay on track or deal with revisions to the plan resulting from a potentially dynamic and changing environment while still achieving its vision.
