Natural Business Transformation

Hoshin Kanri and natural business transformation

“Lead as though you have no power” – Taiichi Ohno

The secret to successful rapid business transformation is to work with the grain of human nature not against it.

Business transformation, lean initiatives or change management programmes have failure rates as high as 70% to 85%. From the perspective of modern psychology, this poor track record is to be expected, as managers tend to go about change the wrong way.

Just like any other complex process in life, if you go about strategic change without training, guidance or a clear plan, you are doomed to fail. Give a trumpet to somebody who has learned to play the instrument and you hear music. But, give one to somebody who has never had a trumpet lesson and you just get a rude noise.

The Toyota way to business success

Hoshin Kanri delivered with the right level of expertise and commitment achieves consistent success with business transformation initiatives wherever it is applied. Success is guaranteed because Hoshin Kanri works with human nature and especially capitalises on the instinctive way people excel at working in groups.

Developed by Toyota back in the 1970s, leading manufacturers such as Sony, Intel and Hewlett Packard have been using Hoshin Kanri for decades. And the really good news is that Hoshin Kanri is not just for the big players, but is just as applicable to smaller enterprises as well.

For improvement to be transformational it has to be holistic

If one part of a system is left defective then the whole system is compromised. After all, a system is only as strong as its weakest element.

Hoshin Kanri’s sophisticated protocols and procedures ensure that every aspect of your organization is improved, all at the same time. In effect Hoshin Kanri planning identifies strategic improvement opportunities, exposes hidden obstacles to successful change, designs appropriate countermeasures and constructs a powerful road map (The Management Action Plan) for a wide range of projects that then yield whole-scale improvement.

To a lot of traditional executives, attempting so many improvements all at the same time sounds ambitious, if not actually impossible. But experience shows that the accumulative effect of large numbers of simultaneously applied improvement projects captures results that are simply unimaginable with other approaches.

The strength and consistency of this improvement system and its ability to work with human nature are the reasons why TBD Hoshin Kanri programmes achieve an estimated 30 : 1 ROI on client investment.
