https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoshin_Kanri
- ...a 7-step process used in strategic planning in which strategic goals are communicated throughout the company and then put into action.
- The Hoshin Kanri strategic planning system originated from post-war Japan, but has since spread to the U.S. and around the world. Translated from Japanese, Hoshin Kanri aptly means "compass management". The individual words "hoshin" and "kanri" mean direction and administration, respectively.
- Hoshin Kanri requires a strategic vision in order to succeed.
- From there, strategic objectives need to be clearly defined, with goals being written for long periods of a one to five-year-long timeframe
- Once the long term timeframe goals are completed, the team can focus on yearly objectives
- Management needs to avoid picking too many vital goals in order to stay focused on what is strategically important
- Hoshin Kanri is a top-down approach, with the goals being mandated by management and the implementation being performed by employees.
- Companies that use Hoshin Kanri often follow a Think, Plan, Implement, and Review process, which is comparable to W. Edwards Deming's Plan Do Check Act cycle

What is Hoshin Kanri?
https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/what-hoshin-kanri-carolyn-gibson/
Hoshin Kanri means “policy management” in Japanese. The characters use elements of the words ‘compass’ and ‘direction’, with the obvious implication that you need to know where you are going, and a map to get there.
7-step process:
- Establish vision
- Develop Breakthrough Objectives
- Develop Annual Objectives
- Deploy Annual Objectives
- Implement Annual Objectives
- Monthly & Quarterly Review
- Annual Review
Peter Drucker wrote that “[u]nless commitment is made, there are only promises and hopes; but no plans.” Hoshin Kanri uses a unique process called catchball to engage all accountable owners early on.
Unlike in other strategy cascades, all accountable owners at every level must be part of the process at the earliest stage so that they:
- Understand their brief
- Have time to question it
- Consult with their teams
- Calculate the resource implications
- Modify the objective as necessary
- And only then commit to delivering it.
X-Matrix
A visual planning tool that allows you to decompose your Vision into the Breakthrough Objectives, Annual Objectives, Improvement Priorities, Targets and Accountable Owners. This tool takes time to learn but is unparalleled in its ability to quickly see if the plan holds together down through the planning levels.
Hoshin Kanri is a process that goes to the heart of your organization’s people, processes and culture. Naturally, you will encounter obstacles in implementation, and failures. Common barriers include:
- Resistance to accountability
- Process and commitment conflicts
- Fear of failure
- Inconsistent, incorrect data
