“When strategies for change fail to deliver their full potential, it’s rarely the strategy itself that is at issue.”
Many of you have seen methods like Lean or Six Sigma being implemented in various organizations and industries and you know things don't always go smoothly. The methods are strong but if the effort is not well managed, there can be a lot of unnecessary pressure and stress.
Sometimes dips in operational performance make things worse before they get better. And, occasionally, things go so poorly the company continues the downward slide it may have been on when it turned to a business improvement program in the first place. Lost jobs are the result. When a company fails, or a facility closes, the employees and their families unexpectedly face hardships that may have been avoidable.
Strategy deployment methods like Hoshin Kanri can help avoid the negative effects of poorly managed change initiatives. When practically applied, Hoshin Kanri makes business improvement efforts easier to manage, less stressful, and more successful.
12 healthy things Hoshin Kanri can do for you:
- prevent and overcome resistance
- deliver cross-functional cooperation
- generate maximum input and feedback from stakeholders
- maintain group agreement
- craft a strategic tactical launch to gain immediate traction
- produce financial results early
- successfully navigate through unexpected circumstances
- “hone-in” on a precision fit for your operation in your industry
- leverage information technology to make complex change easier
- build advanced deployment capability into your organization
- sustain your hard-won gains
- repeat your success
These things guarantee solid strategies deliver full strength results in the most natural way. As a bonus, the biggest benefit may be the optimistic and hopeful viewpoint the method imparts on participants. Hoshin Kanri delivers winning results and everyone enjoys being part of a successful effort making a positive impact. This creates a desire among participants to repeat the experience by being a part of more Hoshin Kanri managed improvement efforts. When these desires are fulfilled in a natural way by allowing the method to spread ahead of a growing wave of optimism, the method becomes a healthy regimen for continuously making the business stronger.
