Course description
Online Strategic Planning via Hoshin Kanri
Strategic planning is the critical link between your strategy and its execution—and it’s often where organizations break down. Without a method for taking your strategy all the way from senior leaders to the shop floor, you risk long lead times for improvement, year-to-year plans that never connect, and too many projects with too few delivering. Sound familiar? Then your organization needs Hoshin Kanri!
