Many organizations struggle to develop a strategy for innovation that’s also grounded in reality (gemba). And they struggle with execution. Hoshin Kanri (strategy deployment) provides the structure to align the organization around a few breakthrough objectives. The A3 Process informs those objectives while also ensuring they come to life through focused, disciplined problem-solving.
In this live webinar, you’ll learn how Hoshin Kanri (strategy deployment) and A3 Problem-Solving processes are interlocking parts of a Lean Management System that clarifies direction, builds alignment, and fosters innovation both top-down and bottom-up across your organization.
What You’ll Learn:
- How Hoshin Kanri sets the direction for the organization—and how A3s both inform strategy and support execution at every level
- The difference between a “strategy on paper” and a living management system
- Real examples of how teams use A3s to solve strategic problems
- How the two practices build capability for innovation up and down, and across the organization
- Why connecting strategy and problem-solving is essential to lean transformation and sustainable success.
Who Should Attend: This session is for executives, functional leaders, continuous improvement professionals, and managers who want to:
- Move beyond disconnected improvement projects
- Develop a more aligned and capable organization
- Build a system where strategy and learning go hand in hand
Please note, this webinar will not be available on-demand.
