Knowledge is the key to change
Knowing effective strategy formulation is critical in this economy. Leaders must have the ability to develop operational business strategies and then know how to link strategy to operations. Understanding how to take business strategies from plan to action sets real leaders apart; and changes mediocre organizations to dynamic businesses. Forward-looking strategy development can make the difference between a profitable organization and one that does not succeed.
We offer strategic Hoshin Kanri planning courses and strategy formulation seminars for managers at all levels. The entire strategic planning process is covered in detail from listening to the Voice of the Customer to strategy deployment for the entire organization. Participants learn Hoshin Kanri by applying the concepts to current planning needs. The objective - learn Hoshin Kanri and come away from the workshop with a working plan!
The Hoshin Kanri Process
Robust methodology for implementing change...
Hoshin Kanri is a step-by-step strategic planning process. The literal translation of Hoshin Kanri can have several American meanings. "Ho" meaning method or form and "shin" meaning shining needle or compass. Kanri means management or control; a methodology for strategic direction setting.
Hoshin Kanri provides an elegant method for creating a comprehensive communication system between all levels of employees, keeping everyone focused on meeting organizational goals.
Voice of the Customer
Designing products & services that excite...
The Voice of the Customer (VOC) is about understanding the customers' needs. Vital information from the customer can be used for many different improvement activities. The primary objective for collecting the VOC is to provide improved products and/or services. The basic premise for using the customer's voice, is to define expectations and needs. Needs that they may not even know they have and expectations that exceed their wildest dreams.
Both time and money can be saved by carefully listening to what a customer says. Eighty percent of new products fail in the market place because no one paid attention to this most critical aspect - - the customer. For that reason, collecting the VOC is the first thing an organization should embark on when entering the market with a new product or service, or in the redesign of an existing product or service.
Because collecting the VOC is the most critical aspect of product/service development, we are meticulous in how we gather this data.
Organization Development
Change is the only constant in organizational growth...
Working with executive management teams, we facilitate the groups understanding of the competition, the current environment, and what it will take to become a top performing organization.
Customized sessions on visioning, missioning, and planning are designed to create a solid road map with tactics that can then be transferred into team charters and communicated throughout the organization.
