Assess the health of your Hoshin Kanri plan with this 6 step checklist

Prepare for a new year of your plan with these 6 steps for success

They say practice makes perfect, and with your reviewing your strategic plan and results, the same certainly applies.

But with a whirlwind of work ahead, we know things can slip through the cracks.

That's why we've created this simple 6-point checklist, designed to help you focus on what matters when reviewing your Hoshin Kanri x-matrix and bowling chart. 

Use this one-page checklist for your Hoshin plan to:

• Use your bowling chart and metric A3s to identify what went well, what didn't, and your progress against your annual goals
• Critically review your Hoshin toolkit and processes
• Apply a catchall reflection to your progress, so that your employees are part of your review
• Develop Hoshin Heroes to maintain the pace of your deployment, and do more of what worked last year!
