Team Business Development (TBD) comprises a powerful blend of team planning methods, systems thinking and applied psychology. TBD’s unique approach helps you accomplish sweeping business improvements in rapid time. This means that TBD clients often double or treble their profit within a year or so
OK, I accept that doubling or trebling profits may seem exaggerated. None-the-less with the right methods, tools, and guidance, any enterprise can achieve what appears at first sight farfetched. What is TBD’s secret? A little-known business improvement system known as Hoshin Kanri for small businesses.
Hoshin Kanri, the Japanese art of business transformation
Hoshin Kanri has its origins in the legendary Toyota Production System. Consequently, over several decades, Toyota developed the whole idea of Hoshin Kanri as the backbone to their continuous improvement or lean concepts. Indeed, it is an open secret that Hoshin Kanri was the guiding power that transformed Toyota into a world beating car manufacturer.
Since then, other world class global companies such as Sony, Intel and Hewlett Packard have adopted Hoshin Kanri. The reason is that it is a superbly structured business improvement system that enables lean and continuous improvements.
But Hoshin Kanri is not just for the big guys.
Now, TBD has adapted Hoshin Kanri as an ideal way for any average small or medium sized enterprise to achieve fast results. The reason is that in essence Hoshin Kanri is a ready-made business operating system. Apart from being adaptable for almost any organization, Hoshin Kanri has several key advantages for business improvement.
Perhaps the most useful is its ability to orchestrate a diverse range of improvement projects. This means that you don’t just implement projects one by one, but plan and roll out lots of improvements all at the same time. As such, this powerful planning system works faster and more reliably than any other conventional method we know of.
Hoshin Kanri works with human nature
A major factor in the reliability of the system is that Hoshin Kanri is carefully attuned with our genetic heritage. OK what do we mean by this? Well, interestingly, individuals have a powerful instinct to collaborate together towards shared goals. And Hoshin Kanri provides the essential structure, coaching and training to allow people to work closely together. Furthermore this intense collaboration creates a level of productivity far higher than the norm. So, with Hoshin Kanri we help you to quickly and easily:
- Mobilize and integrate every business process, sub-system, function and department in the improvement process.
- Align operational resources, new technology and activities with long-term goals.
- Stimulate a high degree of employee engagement.
- Involve everyone in relentless problem-solving and continuous improvement.
- Build strategic capability through higher productivity and innovation.
As a result you get:
1 Rapid uplift in profits and net worth of an enterprise.
2 Rapid business growth.
3 Impressive 33 : 1 return on investment in the process.
4 Reduced risks inherent in DIY improvement systems.
