Here is the honest situation. Hoshin Kanri, also called policy or strategy deployment, is the Lean discipline for turning a small number of breakthrough objectives into aligned action across every level. It works through a fixed annual cycle: set True North and the mid-term strategy, choose the vital few objectives, build the X-matrix, run catchball to agree targets and means, cascade target-to-means, execute against A3 action plans with single owners, review monthly against bowling charts, trigger countermeasures on red, and reflect at year end. Declaring too many objectives, skipping catchball, and letting reviews become status meetings is exactly where deployment falls apart.
This Kit removes the guesswork. It is Hoshin Kanri written as adopt-ready controls you personalize in a weekend, with the evidence leadership examines.
What you get, the moment you buy
Grounded in the Hoshin Kanri strategy deployment method. Editable Word and Excel files.
What one control looks like
This is the opening control, where the system begins. All 18 are built to this depth.
Why this is not another template pack
- The evidence is the point. A control you cannot evidence is a gap waiting to be found. This tells you what leadership examines and where organizations fall short, for every control.
- The specifics built in. The X-matrix, catchball and target-to-means cascade are written into the controls, not left generic.
- Built on a mapped compliance corpus, not one person's opinion, from a graph of thousands of controls across standards.
- It compounds. This work shares its shape with quality and operational-excellence frameworks, so it feeds your wider program.
Who buys this
Leaders, strategy and operational-excellence teams deploying annual objectives across an organization. Whether it is a first hoshin cycle or tightening a loose one, you save weeks and walk in with your objectives, X-matrix, catchball, cascade and review controls structured.
Common questions
Is it really editable? Yes. Word and Excel files you own and adapt. No portal, no subscription.
Does it cover the X-matrix? Yes. Building the X-matrix that links objectives, priorities, targets and owners on one page is built as a control.
Does it cover catchball? Yes. Running catchball to agree targets and means up, down and across is built as a control.
