Making Hoshin Kanri More Effective

Communication and organization are the keys to the success of
Hoshin Kanri because managing long-term strategy, short-term goals,
and daily improvement activities can be a huge challenge,
especially if you have many people involved in the effort. For
years, organizations have relied on tools such as complicated
spreadsheets, email threads, file sharing systems, and even paper
boards to track and manage the strategy, but these passive systems
often fail to provide the support necessary to make lasting
progress. They are time-consuming, rarely kept up-to-date, and
ineffective at driving activity.
