This workshop is conducted for up to twenty-four people. Participants will learn the basic concepts and philosophy behind Hoshin Kanri and practice using Hoshin tools in a safe environment. The workshop is designed for executives, managers, strategic planners, TQM facilitators and anyone else that is interested in improving their organization's planning process. The workshop is separated into four modules. Each module begins with a brief lecture to introduce the tools and underlying concepts.
Participants then work in teams to practice using the tools on a controlled case study.
Results of the case study will be peer evaluated, and the workshop facilitator will coach participants on how to achieve more effective implementation. At the conclusion of the One-day Workshop, participants will understand basic Hoshin Kanri methodology. They will have practiced using Hoshin tools and will have a much better understanding of how to adapt them to their workplace. They will be ready to begin supporting their organization's Hoshin plan deployment. All participants receive a copy of the Hoshin Handbook .
