You will never transform your company by point kaizen alone. Learn why traditional Japanese consultants were not enough in order to propel Danaher into a space all by themselves. Kaikaku (radical change) was a hallmark of Danaher's Strategy Deployment process.

In this episode of The CEO Project Podcast, host Jim Schleckser and Sharon Maguire discuss the critical link between strategy development and execution, emphasizing the importance of treating them as an iterative, interconnected process. Using frameworks like Henry Mintzberg's "Two Loops of Learning," they highlight how organizations must adapt strategies dynamically—refining tactical approaches while continuously reevaluating overarching goals to stay aligned with market changes and organizational needs. The hosts advocate for small, focused strategy teams composed of systems thinkers rather than relying on large, title-driven groups. This approach enables more effective problem-solving and holistic thinking, which are essential for creating and deploying successful strategies. The discussion also underscores the importance of prioritizing a single competitive focus—whether cost leadership, customer intimacy, or innovation—while avoiding the trap of trying to excel in conflicting areas. Effective strategies balance leveraging internal strengths with understanding external market dynamics, ensuring that objectives are both actionable and measurable. Leaders are encouraged to focus on three core areas: financial growth, operational improvement, and strategic extension, such as entering new markets or launching new products. By fostering alignment through techniques like the Japanese "catch ball" method and engaging the organization in execution, businesses can ensure their strategies drive meaningful, sustainable outcomes.

Read the blog post The process you use to develop your strategic plan is as important as the plan itself. Many organizations adopt the Hoshin Kanri method (also known as Hoshin Planning or Strategy Deployment), which integrates daily management with the strategic breakthroughs needed to propel the organization forward. Hoshin Kanri helps create specific, actionable plans and allocates the resources necessary to achieve them. An important element of Hoshin Kanri is not just the setting of top-down objectives but also ensuring a two-way dialogue between leadership and employees, known as "catchball." This ongoing feedback loop ensures that strategic objectives are both communicated effectively and adjusted based on input from all levels of the organization. The entire process becomes an iterative cycle that aligns with the Plan-Do-Study-Adjust (PDSA) framework, fostering continuous learning and improvement. Here are the seven steps typically followed in the Hoshin Kanri process:

In this episode of Small Batches, host Adam Hawkins welcomes Alex Nesbitt, a strategy expert and member of the Flow Collective, to delve into the nuances of strategic thinking. The discussion covers different types of strategies, pro-tips on strategic thinking, and how strategy relates to the concept of flight levels. Nesbitt shares insights from his extensive consulting career, touching on topics like identifying leverage points, the relationship between strategy and tactics, and why being strategic is often more critical than having a strategy. The episode also stresses the importance of having a clear vision, enabling organizational constraints, and the roles of resilience and maintenance in strategic planning. Alex mentions practical examples, resources, and tips to help software and business leaders enhance their strategic approach.Want more?

Long-Term Planning was the topic in Episode 9 of this series and discussed the three components that make up an effective Long-Term or Strategic Planning process: Strategy Creation, Strategic Planning, and Strategy Execution or Strategy Deployment. These are difficult, complex processes to implement effectively and have a significant impact on the long-term success of the business. This podcast highlights some of the potential pitfalls that teams can fall into while creating and deploying strategic plans. Hopefully, your team can learn from the experiences summarized in this podcast and avoid some, if not all these pitfalls when developing and implementing your strategic plan.

In our podcast two weeks ago, we provided an overview of Long-Term or Strategic Planning. Last week we did a deep dive on the Strategy Creation process with Dr. Phil Samuel of the Lean Methods Group which is one of the components of Strategic Planning. This week we are going to do a deep dive on the Strategy Execution component which is implemented using the Strategy Deployment or SD process. I have successfully utilized this process over the past 20+ years in more than 15 businesses ranging in size from $20M to $450M in revenue.

Presented by Jeff Hunter, President of Jeff Hunter Strategy. Hosted by Mark Graban of KaiNexus. Managing vision and purpose with strategic agility has never been more important for health care leaders in a turbulent and transforming industry. We know that our old mental models and systems for strategic planning are insufficient; yet in our early attempts to translate the lean-based system of hoshin planning into strategy deployment, the essence of strategy has been lost in translation. We struggle with creating unique differentiating value from the patient’s perspective, making strategic choices to reduce organizational overburden, aligning strategic intent in the organization, and deploying initiatives in a manner that accelerates learning. Patient-Centered Strategy is a learning system that results in better care. A subset of the lean management system, it builds the leadership team’s capability to identify and satisfy patients’ needs in a unique way and deploy that strategy with a process that increases focus, reduces overburden and delivers faster results. In this webinar, Jeff Hunter, the author of Patient-Centered Strategy, will share lessons that can apply to any industry. Learning Objectives: To learn the advantages of this Plan-Do-Study-Adjust strategic management system over the old strategic planning process. To gain new insights for creating value from the patient’s perspective. To understand the steps in the iterative process of developing and deploying strategy through rapid learning cycles.

"If from your strategy you can't identify anything that you would say no to, it's probably not a good strategy." - Karl Scotland Strategy Execution is Hard. Creating Strategy is Even Harder. Are you struggling with too many conflicting priorities? Constantly dealing with short-term unachievable targets that only send the whole team into a total burnout without any real result? You are not alone. Developing a strategy that leads to a successful execution is one of the biggest issues managers report to struggle with today. As revealed in a survey by PwC’s Strategy&, which involved 2,800 executives from companies of various sizes, geographies, and industries, 82% of executives say that growth initiatives companies do commit to lead to at least partial waste. Converting strategic decisions into specific actions, allocating resources to support the success of the strategy, achieving an alignment of the day-to-day activities with the bigger objectives and strategic initiatives - all of these are the challenges managers and executives face every day. In this context, how can a leader build a successful strategy that would make sense at every level of business? Unfortunately, as stated in the same survey, almost half of the executives in question decided not to set a specific action at all - 49% stated their company has no list of strategic priorities. Is having no strategy really an answer?

We get the chance to chat with folks who are interested in implementing strategy deployment software within their organizations almost every day. Most of the people we talk to really understand the need for this kind of solution and how it can benefit their company. Convincing others, however, can be a challenge.

When you're thinking about rolling out Strategy Deployment in your organization, it can be intimidating to know exactly where to start, what pitfalls to avoid, and how to set yourself up for success right from the beginning. I've recently written an eBook that covers these questions, as well as information about the software you need to enable Strategy Deployment, that you can download on our blog at blog.kainexus.com.

In this weeks podcast episode of Man vs Business, Sean and Les discuss more about the topic of Strategy Deployment using a methodology called Hoshin Kanri (loosely translated as Policy Deployment).

If you are considering investing in strategy deployment software to support your organization's efforts to achieve your most important objectives, we congratulate you. Too many leaders talk a big game when it comes to strategy, but fail to provide the company with the tools and information necessary to effectively carry it out. (Here’s a good example of what can go wrong.) There are a lot of systems out there that could be sold as a strategy deployment solution. You can find everything from glorified spreadsheets to purpose-built improvement platforms. We have had the chance to chat with lots of folks who have been through the selection and implementation process, so we thought it would be useful to share a few of the features that make all of the difference.

Strategy Deployment is a hot topic in continuous improvement circles these days. We’re delighted to see that because effective strategy deployment can make the difference between reaching the goals of the organization in the expected time frame and failing to achieve the breakthrough objectives. Of course, strategy deployment isn’t easy and few companies really excel at the practice. Strategy deployment software has been developed to help provide a structure for the practice and keep organizations on track. We’ve had lots of productive conversations with leaders about how strategy deployment software can help smooth the path to success. Here are the questions that we get asked most often.

Earlier in the day, at one of her company’s regular monthly meetings, she decided to offer a $100 bill to the first employee who could name all four of the company’s top-level strategic goals. What she got was crickets. Not a single person could name them all and few could come up with any of them at all. Ouch.

Presented by Mark Graban on July 27, 2016 from 1:00 - 2:00 pm EDT In this webinar, you will learn: How organizations use Strategy Deployment (or Hoshin Planning) to create alignment and focus The iterative PDSA-based cycles of this management approach Four key hypotheses that senior leaders make during the annual cycles and ongoing reviews How KaiNexus can support these methods to better create alignment and give better visibility around goals, actions, and progress

It seems to me that a strategy deployment process can be described as a series of hypotheses that are tested over time. Strategy deployment is a high-level annual PDSA cycle that contains embedded PDSA cycles of analysis, improvement, measurement, and adjustment. http://leanblog.org/audio7 --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/lean-blog-audio/support
