Hoshin Kanri Training
Live Workshops
Knowledge is the key to change
Knowing effective strategy formulation is critical in this economy. Leaders must have the ability to develop operational business strategies and then know how to link strategy to operations. Understanding how to take business strategies from plan to action sets real leaders apart; and changes mediocre organizations to dynamic businesses. Forward-looking strategy development can make the difference between a profitable organization and one that does not succeed.
We offer strategic business planning courses and strategy formulation seminars for managers at all levels. The entire strategic planning process is covered in detail from listening to the Voice of the Customer to strategy deployment for the entire organization.
Online Training
E-Learning is cost effective and consistent
We provide online training focused on improving the effectiveness. Web-based learning insures that everyone hears the same thing. With stand-up training there is variation, there’s no way around it. Online training provides consistent messages. We can also tailor our existing Hoshin Kanri online training to fit the needs of your organization and provide group rates that are very affordable.
Combining live facilitation with online learning is the most effective way to create positive change within your organization.

The Hoshin Kanri Process
Robust methodology for implementing change...

Hoshin Kanri is a step-by-step strategic planning process. The literal translation of Hoshin Kanri can have several American meanings. "Ho" meaning method or form and "shin" meaning shining needle or compass. Kanri means management or control; a methodology for strategic direction setting.
Hoshin Kanri provides an elegant method for creating a comprehensive communication system between all levels of employees, keeping everyone focused on meeting organizational goals.
Just in Time Training
Work on real issues with content as need it...

Work on real time challenges during a facilitated "just-in-time" training session. We believe that the best way to really learn something is to apply it immediately to issues that affect your business.
Team members prepare for group sessions with online web based training prior to the live session. Blended learning methodologies are employed to enhance learning and maximize efficiency.
Organization Development
Change is the only constant in organizational growth...

Working with executive management teams, we facilitate the groups understanding of the competition, the current environment, and what it will take to become a top performing organization.
Customized sessions on visioning, missioning, and planning are designed to create a solid road map with tactics that can then be transferred into team charters and communicated throughout the organization.
