Description

WebHoshin Planning Table Successful organizations use their business or strategic planning process to focus and link activities throughout the organization. The intent is to assure people are working on the right things and to provide a method to track progress and achieve results. In most cases, however, the planning process is not structured and is rarely reviewed so a great plan simply collects dust.

WebHoshin can bring your planning process to life. It can help make your strategic or business plan become the way you manage instead of a document people just file away. WebHoshin is based on the Hoshin Kanri process. It provides a planning structure that efficiently documents and deploys key objectives. It provides a methodology to track progress and take corrective action when performance strays from course. WebHoshin can become an essential element of an organization's ISO implementation, Baldrige application, Balanced Scorecard or Six Sigma implementation. If you are new to Hoshin, you might want to watch a brief overview of the process.

Software Benefits:

  • Your plan becomes a living document that is actually used to manage the organization.
  • Coordinate your plan with people anywhere in the world. You only need a web browser and a connection to the Internet to contribute to the plan.
