Hoshin Kanri

A structured approach for deploying strategy and policy across the organization by cascading top-level goals into aligned plans, actions, and measurable outcomes.

Key Points

  • Aligns strategic priorities from executives to portfolios, programs, and teams.
  • Translates high-level objectives into cascading goals, initiatives, and metrics.
  • Uses iterative review (PDCA) to learn, adjust, and sustain focus.
  • Promotes two-way dialogue (catchball) to balance ambition with capacity.

Example

A company sets a goal to cut time-to-market by 20% in 12 months. Leadership defines breakthrough objectives, the portfolio selects enabling epics, product areas set quarterly OKRs, and teams plan increments that map to those goals. Monthly Hoshin reviews track lead time, flow efficiency, and delivery predictability, prompting adjustments to WIP limits and backlog priorities.
