An in-depth review of the Lean approach to strategic planning known as Hoshin Kanri for government and private sector organizations.
About this Event

The course is designed to help government and private sector organizations develop and execute strategic plans that are more likely to be achieved than those developed using traditional strategic planning methods because it uses Lean techniques to make sure the plan is:

Focused on the right problems (the must-do, can’t fail priorities), avoiding initiative overload that prevents execution;
Matched with available capacity;
Supported and owned by all levels of the organization;
Executed with a framework in place to monitor progress, maintain focus, and overcome obstacles

Participants will learn what Hoshin Kanri is, what makes it different from more traditional approaches and review the six steps involved to create and execute their plans using Lean tools and techniques. Equipped with an Excel workbook they leave the workshop able to apply what they’ve learned to develop better strategic plans for the organization.
