In this edition of The Management Brief, Mark Reich sits down with Isao Yoshino, a 40-year veteran of Toyota and a driving force behind the company's success with hoshin kanri. Yoshino shares the impact that hoshin kanri and A3 problem-solving has had on him professionally and personally. Key takeaways include: · Multiple roles over four decades at Toyota shaped Yoshino's management beliefs and career. · Yoshino discusses working directly with Mikio Sugiura, who was instrumental in developing Toyota's hoshin kanri process. · Hoshin kanri can positively impact a company as it has Toyota, notes Yoshino, but it's not without a few challenges. · Delivering bad news first and an earnest desire to learn from failures were commonplace for Yoshino and Toyota executives and fostered the improvement mindset that still thrives in the company today.

Distogliere l'attenzione dalla morte significa distogliere l'attenzione dal senso della vita. In altre parole: la vita non può essere scissa dalla morte, così come il bene non può essere scisso dal male. Con le dovute differenze, la saggezza degli antichi testimonia che, dinnanzi alla morte, è possibile essere disinvolti come Socrate e Hoshin, lapidari come il Sileno e Solone, sofferenti e poi illuminati come Prometeo ed Epicuro. Queste testimonianze provenienti dall'antichità sono accomunate dalla domanda di senso che si pone l'umanità dinnanzi al dolore e, in particolare, dinnanzi al dolore connesso con l'inscindibile coppia morte-vita. Ponendoci questa domanda di senso, siamo invitati a cercare una risposta. Siamo, quindi, invitati a educarci rispetto al senso della morte, che è indissolubilmente legato al senso della vita.

✏️ Introducción Este artículo es un pequeño resumen, como hago cada semana, de la charla que mantuve con la emprendedora Carmen Moruno.. Nombre: Carmen Moruno. Cargo: Coaching y Mentora "La Brújula del Emprendedor. Me defino como una persona emprendedora, curiosa y ecléctica. Cualidades como, la creatividad, la capacidad de adaptación y la fortaleza han sido el motor para alcanzar mis objetivos. Carmen Moruno ?♂️ Conoce a Carmen Moruno Carmen Moruno ha sido un culo inquieto ya que siempre le han gustado muchas cosas y además también le apasionan muchas cosas. Siendo muy jovencita empezó estudiando administración de empresas, bueno administrativa en aquella época. Para Carmen la creatividad era el máximo exponente por lo que estudió un año de diseño de moda por qué siempre le había gustado mucho. De administrativa después se pasó al interiorismo, que le gustaba mucho posiblemente por que su padre tenía una empresa de construcción. Su madre murió cuando ella tenía 13 años, lo que hizo que ella se tuviera que ocupar de las cosas de la casa y compaginarlo con los estudios y el trabajo. ?♀️️ Inicio laboral y emprendedor de Carmen Moruno Carmen Moruno empezó a trabajar con 16 años, Su primer trabajo fue en el ayuntamiento como administrativa. Posteriormente se fue a trabajar a una empresa de productos químicos, montando después una comercial, también de productos químicos. Trabajo también, mientras estaba estudiando, en una empresa de automóviles vendiendo coches, haciendo seguros y más cosas. ? Carmen Moruno emprendedora precoz En el año 89, Carmen Moruno finalizó los estudios de interiorismo y decide montar su segunda empresa que fue de interiorismo. La primera que montó, que fue la de productos químicos, no era algo que le gustara, era algo que conocía. La empresa de interiorismo es la que más tiempo ha tenido, de hecho, todavía la tiene, pero no está operativa. ¿? Por qué Kanri? Como fiel admiradora de los sistemas de organización japoneses y como base de los principios del sistema “Hoshin Kanri”, el cual está fundamentado en: Comunicación y motivación. Desarrollo de estrategias, tácticas y objetivos definidos por planes de acción. Enfoque y mejora (fiel a la filosofía Kaizen, donde los recursos son limitados pero el desarrollo de las personas no.) Descentralización, delegación. Aprendizaje. Se alinea con La Misión, Visión y Valores de su proyecto empresarial. De ahí que tomó prestada la palabra Kanri. Kanri significa en japonés: administración, control y gestión. La “brújula” (Hoshin) representa la importancia de tener una dirección para la consecución de objetivos.

How can structural limits be useful to Executive Leaders? Study the X-Type Matrix and find out. In this episode in her visual leadership series, Gwendolyn Galsworth delves into the importance of the very limits the X-Type incorporates in its layout. More than any other visual leadership tool, the matrix teaches executives their most important function: how to say yes to the few and wait to the many. As the X-Type teaches us discipline and clarity, it also guides us in developing greater skill in deciding and driving on ever finer levels of detail and effectiveness. The X-Type teaches—and it does not waiver. It doesn’t give an inch. You learn ... or the tool stops helping you. Set it aside, blame the tool—but the X-Type merely waits until we learn the lesson it was designed to teach: We will fail as leaders if we do not curb our appetite and cultivate discernment—lean-ness in thinking and action. This is why the X-Type Matrix is the supreme vehicle for attaining our improvement future.
Why do some executives shake their heads in disgust at mention of the X-Type Matrix—while other sing its praises and credit it for not just saving their company but their jobs. The answer to the first: They were taught incorrectly and badly. The answer to the second: They were taught well. The X-Type Matrix is a single-author tool that allows the visual executive (YOU!) to translate, align, and integrate your company’s vision, mission, and strategy into actionable, cross-functional goals, and projects. Listen this week as Gwendolyn Galsworth, visual expert and your host, defines the X-Type Matrix in detail and explains: a) how a leader develops it; and 2) how that same leader deploys it through others. Once in place, the X-Type connects with the projects, targets, outcomes, and resources required to achieve coveted enterprise outcomes. It is your annual plan on a single page—precise, actionable, and exciting. Yes, there are mistakes to avoid and victories to win. Tune in/Learn more.
In this episode, Tony is joined by Kendall Hoyd, President at Residential Design Services, to discuss Hoshin Kanri. Kendall, previously the president of Idaho Truss and CFO of Trussway, has been effective at implementing Hoshin Kanri in multiple business models and cultures.

Listen on as Kendall shares 5 best practices as well as some common pitfalls that can be made while implementing this process in your organization.
Welcome to Episode 2 of the Enterprise Excellence Podcast. In this episode we continue the conversation with Professor Peter Hines, exploring his recent book "The Essence of Excellence". We share his insights on the topic of sustaining excellence journeys for the long term, and his techniques to avoid the frustration and impact of failed improvement efforts within organisations. This episode delves deeply into the BESCILLED model develop by Peter and his co-author Chris Butterworth. The interview explores the key elements of this model and how it's use can help create a sustainable excellence journey.Peter talks about his new focus on the Enterprise Excellence Network. This network gathers together the world best organisations, many of whom are Shingo Prize winners. Peter discusses how the network provides members an opportunity to visit the best of the best and learn what to focus on next. It is a forum by which high performing sites can learn from each other to keep progressing their excellence journey. Quotes03:04;29 I remember asking the Toyota guys, why is it that you're so good? And the answer was 'the rigorous and disciplined application of the Toyota Production System'. And really, what I got to learn from that, eventually, and it took some time, was 'the rigorous and disciplined application of' was probably more important than the Toyota Production System. 15:21;08 And if you ask even senior executive, what are your values, they can usually reel off two or three quickly, but the other two or three, probably they can't even remember what they are. So, in other words, they're not making an impact.16:13;01 So, the sum of behaviours is the culture in the organisation. So, hence the starting point is not just strategy formation and deployment which obviously, we have to do Hoshin, planning etc, which gives us in best case the 'what do we need to do', hopefully also the 'why' which is sometimes missing. But it doesn't give us the 'how' in terms of culture. So, the starting point for most organisations is only the 'what', it's not the culture. So, actually adding the behavioural and strategy deployment means that we start with values and principles, we turn them into behaviour, we deploy them down into the organization.19:38;13 The key role of the manager is actually checking whether or not we're running the organisation to standard, and we're actually achieving the gains and we're achieving what we need to do in terms of strategy. We're actually checking whether the right behaviour is in place. And if it's not, we're then spending time developing coaching, either through formal courses, or actually mostly from on the job and ongoing coaching and development, which takes us into the last segment, which is the learning and development.24:27;09 And certainly, when I've been out, and I've taken these senior people, and we've shown them some of these organisations, you know, the lights just come on. And they come back so passionate, and so fired up and so wanting to do this sort of approach, it's unbelievable. But it's actually quite difficult to prise them away from, you know, we don't have time for this, you know, or we don't think we need it and so forth. 32:47;22 I think my advice is go see someone better than you... And you know, they may not be perfect, but if they're better than you, there's something to learn. And, you know, any firm on any office complex or any industrial estate, there must be someone there better than you. So, you know, go and knock on your neighbour's and have a look around. You know, even if you just start at that local level, I would do that.
Hoshin Kanri es un término japonés compuesto por cuatro palabras, Ho, Shin, kan y Ri, que pueden ser interpretadas respectivamente como dirección, aguja, control y razón. El año pasado, dediqué algunas semanas a estudiar este marco metodológico creado por Toyota y que revolucionó la industria desde los años 90. Me fascinó la sencillez de la Matriz X y del concepto de catchball, una técnica colaborativa para definir y dar seguimiento a los objetivos e indicadores a través de los distintos estratos de la compañía. Co-crear, de nuevo, es la clave. Los OKRs persiguen objetivos muy similares y vienen a ser una versión simplificada y moderna de Hoshin Kanri. Y en mi opinión, con los objetivos estratégicos de una compañía suele pasar algo parecido a lo que sucede cuando hablamos del propósito, o plasmamos en palabras la cultura, los valores y los principios que deben guiar nuestros comportamientos. Las palabras son una representación de la realidad. Pero no son la realidad. "El mapa no es el territorio", que decía Alfred Korzybski. De propósito, de estrategia, de objetivos, de resultados y, en definitiva, de cultura, hablamos con Ángel Medinilla, consultor Lean y Agile, formador, autor, speaker… y un largo etcétera.

No segundo episódio sobre métodos de transformação digital, George Arraes, Head de Customer Experience da CI&T, fala sobre o Hoshin Kanri, uma metodologia de planejamento estratégico que ajuda a organização a se orquestrar em torno da criação conjunta de soluções de negócio e a conquistar a agilidade na tomada de decisões. Conheça os aprendizados do CI&T Learnings: ciandt.com/learnings
Realizar um planejamento estratégico efetivo não é uma tarefa simples. Alinhar toda a organização e um modelo de gestão que permita acompanhar o progresso é então mais difícil ainda. Existem as boas estratégias e as más estratégias. A questão do planejamento estratégico começa pelo simples entendimento sobre o que é uma boa estratégia. Uma boa estratégia define como iremos chegar a algum lugar. Porém, não define aonde e quando. E, é aí que um Hoshin bem estruturado pode salvar o seu negócio, salvar a sua vida. Se liga nesse bate papo que eu tive com Vilson Fogaça a respeito do Hoshin, e é claro que falamos das vaquinhas Lean tambem...dá o play ai vai!!!!

In this episode in her visual leadership series, Gwendolyn Galsworth delves into the importance of the very limits the X-Type incorporates in its layout. More than any other visual leadership tool, the matrix teaches executives their most important function: how to say yes to the few and wait to the many. As the X-Type teaches us discipline and clarity, it also guides us in developing greater skill in deciding and driving on ever finer levels of detail and effectiveness. The X-Type teaches—and it does not waiver. It doesn’t give an inch. You learn ... or the tool stops helping you. Set it aside, blame the tool—but the X-Type merely waits until we learn the lesson it was designed to teach: We will fail as leaders if we do not curb our appetite and cultivate discernment—lean-ness in thinking and action. This is why the X-Type Matrix is the supreme vehicle for attaining our improvement future.
Why do some executives shake their heads in disgust at mention of the X-Type Matrix—while other sing its praises and credit it for not just saving their company but their jobs. The answer to the first: They were taught incorrectly and badly. The answer to the second: They were taught well. The X-Type Matrix is a single-author tool that allows the visual executive (YOU!) to translate, align, and integrate your company’s vision, mission, and strategy into actionable, cross-functional goals, and projects. Listen this week as Gwendolyn Galsworth, visual expert and your host, defines the X-Type Matrix in detail and explains: a) how a leader develops it; and 2) how that same leader deploys it through others. Once in place, the X-Type connects with the projects, targets, outcomes, and resources required to achieve coveted enterprise outcomes. It is your annual plan on a single page—precise, actionable, and exciting. Yes, there are mistakes to avoid and victories to win. Tune in/Learn more.

¡Muy buenos días a todo el mundo, y bienvenidos a un nuevo episodio de la edición de Navidad de Dragonz Podcast, el programa, TU PROGRAMA, de artes marciales y deportes de contacto. Hoy es miércoles 27 de diciembre de 2017 y vamos por el programa número 158!! Damos la bienvenida a Salvador Camacho Soto, de Granada, que ha aprovechado uno de los últimos días del año, para suscribirse a mitad de precio DE POR VIDA a la Comunidad Dragonz hasta fin de año, y por 5€/mes, ya disfruta de más de 200 vídeo tutoriales, y cada día uno más, 15% descuento en la tienda, gastos de envío gratis, la revista en formato digital, etc… ¡OS QUEDAN apenas 4 DÍAS! Hoy a las 10:10 am ¡nueva lección del Curso de Manoplas! donde ya comenzamos a realizar combinaciones cada vez más complicadas para los que nunca las habían utilizado y por la tarde a las 18:18 en el blog, subimos la columna que nos escribió para la revista nº 20 Manuel Ángel Biedma, alias “Manuel Ángel Enfermero”, en la que nos habla sobre el arte de curar y las Artes Marciales. Interesantísima columna, e interesantísima persona, que espero poder traerla al podcast en la próxima temporada. Tal como os comentaba en el Podcast de ayer, hoy vamos a comenzar a ver como tenemos que estructurar nuestro plan de acción para el 2018, y que unos propósitos, pasen de ser eso… a convertirse en metas y objetivos. Y para eso vamos a utilizar un sistema que se suele utilizar para marcar los objetivos en empresas y negocios… y os estaréis preguntando ¿eso que tiene que ver con las Artes Marciales?¡Pues nada! Salvo que es un invento japonés… me estoy refiriendo al … Hoshin Kanri, o Hoshin plan. Y hoy, en el “regalito de navidad”, lo que vamos a hacer es… puff, no se… ¡es que no hay nada que tenga relación con esto! ¡Ah, ya se! Hoy voy a hacer un descuento en camisetas. Pero no un 20, no un 30, no un 40%... ¡un 50% de descuento en las Camisetas Dragonz de calle! Y de nuevo os recuerdo, que ya vamos por la séptima semana de esta entrega de cursos en la Comunidad Dragonz, lo que significa que dentro de 3 semanas comenzaremos nueva entrega de 5 cursos. ¡Estáis a tiempo de decidir de que queréis que sean todos esos cursos nuevos! Así que espero vuestro feedback, y posiblemente esta semana le dedique un programa entero a comentar con vosotros las diferentes posibilidades de cursos que tengo en mente. Ya sabéis que si todo esto os parece interesante, podéis probar un mes, porque no hay compromiso de permanencia y podréis borraros cuando queráis, vamos, el Netflix y Amazon de las artes marciales y deportes de contacto. Y para terminar, comentaros que Dragonz Podcast está disponible en Ivoox, Itunes, Soundcloud, Spreaker, Stitcher, iHeartRadio y Youtube, y que todos ellos tienen su formato de dar valoraciones de 5 estrellas o like, corazoncitos… ¡y de comentar! así que por favor hacerlo, que no os cuesta nada y a nosotros nos ayuda a posicionarnos bien, para que más oyentes nos conozcan... ¡Hasta mañana guerreros! GANBARUUUUUUU
