Description: | Select Guide Rating This book picks up where Hoshin "How-To" books often leave off and provides practical ideas and tools for overcoming some of the messier obstacles faced by today''s executives and planning professionals when they conduct their strategic planning, such as working with unions, planning during an acquisition, dealing with measurement fatigue. Boisvert addresses these and other issues head-on and with a candid, practical, and compassionate eye. 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. |
