About ebook

It is not enough to set yourself ambitious goals to achieve the assumed results. Appropriate priorities should also be identified and will be described by appropriate indicators.

The structural approach to setting goals and cascading them is provided by the hoshin kanri method, which at the same time solves problems in communication between departments of the enterprise.

At my work, I have often encountered situations in which the indicators of one of the departments had a negative impact on the indicators of the other, which never happened again after the implementation of this method, improving the relations between the conflicting departments. I also have seen companies that haven’t had any structural approach for setting goals and their cascading, which after applying this method recorded growth by approx. 20% compared to previous years.

The strength and greatest advantage of hoshin kanri is its simplicity. It helps everyone in the organization understand it very quickly, which is crucial when cascading goals down to the level of a single employee.

The experiences with this method, which I have gathered over seventeen years working in continuous improvement departments and later leading them, are included in this book. You will find there only practical advice and solutions that I use to this day in every company, regardless of its size. Although this book is only 50 pages long, I hope you will find it of great value.

This book is for people who:

  • want to quickly learn how to implement the hoshin kanri process step by step
  • would like to make the X-matrix themselves
  • need a solution for a simple cascading of goals
  • work with the hoshin kanri process on a daily basis

This book is NOT for people who:

  • don’t like “technical” and methodical books
  • would like to read this book in the evening lying in the bed 😊 this is an implementation book!

Reviews

A great introduction to the underestimated art of strategy implementation. I recommend it to all managers who want to understand why the measure of a strategy's success is its implementation, not the strategy itself ... unfortunately, a basic mistake in many companies.

About the author

My name is Marcin HoÅ‚da and since 2004 I have been professionally implementing programs based on lean management. I have been doing this for many years and in various organizations – I decided to share with you my experience in introducing changes in enterprises.

My practical experience concerns cooperation and work for, among others companies such as General Electric, Alstom, Danone, Cadbury and Mondelez. Working as an internal lean consultant, I had the opportunity to get acquainted with many implementation models of consulting companies, i.e. Shingijutsu, BCG, McKinsey, Kaizen Institute, Baringa, just to mention the biggest ones. Each of these experiences was unique, and you will find conclusions and lessons from them in my e-books.
