What is Hoshin?

Hoshin Kanri (also known as Policy Deployment) is a strategic planning and management method used in organizations to align their activities with their long-term goals. It involves developing a few key strategic goals, communicating them throughout the organization, and then creating action plans to achieve those goals. The emphasis is on continuous improvement, employee involvement, and a focus on measurable results. It's commonly used to drive organizational change, improve performance, and foster a culture of accountability.
