Samenvatting:

The purpose of this book is to provide a practical set of guidelines for applying lean strategy principles and lean management tools in modern organizations. It highlights the crucial role that Hoshin Kanri, also known as policy deployment, plays in strategic planning, strategic management, and goal alignment.
Drawing lessons from Toyota, this book explores essential themes for deploying strategies effectively and aligning corporate objectives across all levels of an organization. It emphasizes the potential of Hoshin Kanri in manufacturing environments while also showing how its principles apply to service and business operations.
Key highlights include:

• The importance of leadership development and cultivating the right coaching behaviors to support learning, decision-making, and employee engagement
• How to use Hoshin Kanri for strategic management, improving top-down and bottom-up communication
• Aligning corporate strategy (senior management) with tactical plans (middle management) and operational execution (frontline teams) through the "catchball" process
• Understanding the often-overlooked philosophy and organizational culture that are critical for a successful Hoshin Kanri implementation

While lean strategy deployment is still an emerging research topic, this book bridges the gap between theory and practice, showing how organizations can achieve continuous improvement, operational excellence, and a culture of high performance through effective Hoshin Kanri implementation.
Whether you are a manager, lean practitioner, executive, or operations leader, this book provides actionable insights to drive strategic alignment, enhance leadership capabilities, and create a sustainable lean culture in your organization.
