Hoshin Kanri for Onlin Start Up

Hoshin Kanri is a Japanese term that means “direction management”. It is a strategic planning method that aligns the goals and actions of an organization from top to bottom. Helps leaders communicate their vision and priorities to the employees, and empowers them to execute the plan with creativity and autonomy. Involves regular reviews and feedback loops to monitor progress and adjust the course as needed. 

Hoshin Kanri is a powerful way to achieve breakthrough results and continuous improvement in any industry. 

• Hoshin Kanri lets everyone in the company share their ideas, not just the bosses by a method called Catchball, where people talk to each other until they agree.

• Hoshin Kanri is a never-ending way of planning and getting better, not a one-time thing. It uses a way of getting feedback called the Hoshin Kanri Catchball, where the work that people do is used to help the bosses change the plan.

• Hoshin Kanri uses a picture tool called the Hoshin Kanri matrix or X-matrix, which helps to show how goals and objectives are linked to each other and to the actions and plans.

• Hoshin Kanri makes sure that PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) is used for everything in the company, from the small things to the big things.
