Strategy Deployment (also known as Hoshin Kanri and Policy Deployment) is a structured approach to narrowing an organization’s focus on those activities that truly move its strategy forward. By executing fewer projects at once, managing them better, and learning to say “not yet” or “no,” organizations are able to produce far greater results than poorly-focused execution enables.
The resulting strategy deployment plan typically spans an organization’s fiscal year, but it can begin reaping the benefits that result from operating with greater clarity, focus, discipline, and organization-wide engagement at any point in a financial cycle.
You’ll learn:
1. The benefits of adopting strategy deployment as a foundational leadership practice,
2. How to conduct an “extra effort inventory,” which clarifies the current state and serves as an input into the resulting strategy deployment plan,
3. How to define and prioritize the highest-value actions needed to achieve one’s strategy,
4. How to develop, socialize, and manage the strategy deployment plan,
5. And how to use catchball to build organization-wide consensus with the plan (which leads to plan adherence).
