Hoshin Kanri and Strategy Deployment for Operational Excellence

Many South African organisations set strategic goals at the top that never translate into daily action on the floor, so improvement stays fragmented. This course teaches hoshin kanri, a structured way to cascade a few vital objectives down through every level and align improvement projects with company strategy. Participants learn to build catchball dialogue, visual review boards, and a rhythm of check ins that keep the whole organisation pulling in one direction.

Select a small number of breakthrough objectives worth focusing the organisation on.
