Workshop Description
Strategic plans are often developed in isolation and rarely aligned across an organization. As a result, the organization's strategy and strategic objectives are not well defined, are not well communicated, and do not impact day-to-day decision-making.
Our Strategic Planning Process, based on Hoshin Policy Deployment, provides an organization with effective methods and tools to develop, communicate and align its strategic goals, objectives, and initiatives.
The strategic plan then forms the basis for establishing an effective Performance Management System and for initiating critical Operational Excellence & Lean Six Sigma projects and activities. Strategic Planning using Hoshin Policy Deployment has been successfully deployed by many world-class organizations.
