STRATEGY DEPLOYMENT (HOSHIN KANRI)

Developing a clear strategy is crucial for the success of an enterprise – but the real challenge lies in consistent implementation. We provide our customers with intensive support in strategy implementation in the form of planning, goal cascading and goal coordination between organizational areas as well as subsequent implementation. We develop specific structures and procedures for our customers based on the Hoshin Kanri (Policy Deployment) approach. Hoshin Kanri makes it possible to effectively integrate strategic goals into the daily work of all enterprise areas and thus achieve sustainable success.

Strategy derivation and cascading

We support you in transforming your long-term vision into concrete, measurable and achievable goals. Together we formulate a precise strategy, which is complemented by a clear roadmap for the next steps and involves all levels of your organization. To do this, we practice the “catchball” process with your leadership team to coordinate and deploy the strategy across the various areas and levels involved. We work with your team so that you can plan and implement measures in short cycles of three months.

A strategy is only as good as its implementation. We help you to identify, prioritize and implement concrete measures that are necessary to achieve your strategic goals. We help you to develop clear responsibilities, measurability and practical timelines. Ultimately, the strategy implementation process with Hoshin Kanri often involves a change in corporate culture and leadership behavior. We therefore work with you to adapt the process to your corporate culture.

Ongoing evaluation and adjustment – The “Living Strategy”

The success of a strategy depends on its flexibility. We support you in the ongoing review and adaptation of your strategy to ensure that it remains effective even in changing market conditions and company situations. This turns your strategy into a “living strategy” that evolves dynamically over the underlying 3-5-year and one-year planning.

To ensure that your management team will fully master the Hoshin Kanri methodology, we offer targeted training. Your managers learn how to cascade strategies, conduct reviews and identify and systematically close gaps in achieving goals. This supports the sustainable implementation of your strategy. We train your team in the Gap Analysis and Closure Process (GACP) and the necessary methods and accompany the implementation until it is reflected upon by top management.

Intensive customer support in the first cycles

The first steps of implementation are often the most critical. We accompany you intensively through the first Hoshin Kanri cycles with tailored coaching, feedback and consultation for your management team. This support ensures that the methods are applied correctly and that your organization quickly feels the benefits of strategy implementation.

Reflection with top management

Regular communication with top management is essential to manage and optimize strategy implementation. We moderate these reflection sessions in which we jointly evaluate progress and discuss necessary adjustments.

Revitalizing stalled strategies

We support you if your existing strategy implementation is not working as expected. If a strategy stalls, we work with your management team to analyze the causes and get them back on track through targeted interventions. Our experience helps us to untangle blocked processes and get your strategy back on track.

We also help you to seamlessly integrate instruments such as Objectives & Key Results (OKR), Objectives, Goals, Strategies and Measures (OGSM), Balanced Scorecard (BSC) and approaches such as value stream management into your approach.
