What is Hoshin Kanri?

Hoshin Kanri is a method devised to capture strategic goals as well as innovation and insight about the future in order to develop the means to bring these into reality. It is one of the most powerful planning tools available to organizations today, allowing for breakthrough innovations and continuous improvement. It provides a method for creating a comprehensive communication system between all levels of employees, keeping everyone focused on meeting the organization’s goals. Hoshin Kanri methodology ensures that everyone in the organization knows the strategic direction for the company. It creates a working communication system that focuses everyone on common goals.
