Introduction
Policy deployment, or hoshin kanri, is more than just a strategic planning system. Executed well it engages, motivates and involves everyone within the organisation in achieving sustainable improvements in the way the business performs. It consists of two interlinked systems or ways of working. Firstly, strategy and direction for developing new breakthrough products, technologies, methods and business processes. Secondly, business fundamentals for identifying, monitoring and improving the key processes in the organisation responsible for delivering customer value and company results, i.e. profit.
