Key challenge: Digitalizing Hoshin Kanri method and implementing countermeasures
i-nexus has enabled us to take the next evolutionary step beyond KPI reporting
What they love about i-nexus:
- Leaders being able to easily prove the value of their operational and improvement projects toward strategic goals
- Automating data collection with their systems encouraged the right mindset in teams, and monthly management reporting enhanced leadership’s decision-making by focusing on the “reds” and exceptions in performance
Today, Universal Robots are continuing to strengthen their policy deployment. They're beyond the basics of performance management, taking KPIs and using them to drive countermeasures, focusing on driving growth through every part of the business.

“We needed saving from spreadsheet hell. i-nexus transformed our Hoshin Kanri method, replacing spreadsheets with a digital solution.
Better still, i-nexus has enabled us to take the next evolutionary step beyond KPI reporting and towards building a stronger countermeasure culture.”

Key challenge: Digitalizing a mature Hoshin Kanri based business system
i-nexus made it easier to deploy and manage our strategy execution framework
What they love about i-nexus:
- Interactive planning with the x-matrix provided a tool to support and drive strategy deployment and follow-up within all portfolio companies and FSN itself – in accordance with the FEF business system
- Strategic thinking was encouraged across the companies thanks to having a common set of strategic and operational tools
Today, FSN are managing the strategic planning and deployment of 17 portfolio companies inside i-nexus, with greater collaboration, engagement, and accountability for strategic planning.

“We were really struggling to efficiently manage and deploy strategy in the portfolio with the historic spreadsheets as they become hard to use in policy deployment throughout the year.
The match between our strategy framework and the Hoshin basis of i-nexus as well as the reporting features, made us go for i-nexus as our strategy deployment tool.“
