The conditions in which leaders apply Hoshin Planning today have
changed substantially since the method was established in the
1950's. There is better and more broadly distributed understanding
of statistical process improvement principles and practices in
today's organizations. Executives seem to rotate in and out of
organizations with more frequency. Organizational structures are
often more fluid and open. Markets change much faster, employees
have greater expectations for stimulation and growth from their
work, and technology is central to everything we do. To correctly
apply Hoshin Planning, we must consider this modern, more complex
environment.Unfortunately, a solid understanding of Hoshin
mechanics, techniques, and tools isn't always enough to achieve
outstanding performance. This book examines Hoshin Planning a
little less through the controllable lens of methodology and more
through the ever-shifting and imperfect lens of daily life in
organizations.Picking up where many Hoshin "how-to" books leave
off, this book presents practical ideas and tools for overcoming
the messier obstacles faced by today's executives and planning
professionals. You will learn ways to work your strategic planning
productively in the face of sometimes tough challenges, such as
working with unions, planning during an acquisition, and dealing
with measurement fatigue.This book addresses these and other issues
with a candid, practical, and compassionate eye. Using real stories
and examples, Boisvert shares valuable observations she's made
through nearly two decades of consulting with
organizations.Inevitably, your organization will experience
unplanned events and surprising results that will require
modification of what looked like perfectly good plans. A reliable
practice of Hoshin stays on its toes. Flexibility, alertness,
pragmatism, and thoughtful, hardworking leadership are the themes
of this book.
