Make 2021 the year that you FINALLY succeed at executing your strategy. This workshop will show you a proven way to create and achieve your company’s annual objectives.

A research study published by Harvard Business Review* notes how leaders struggle more with executing strategy than developing it. This class provides a framework for executing strategy by engaging all levels of the organization. Especially when teams are operating remotely, it is critical to ensure alignment to shared objectives.

In this workshop, you will learn through a combination of instruction and peer-to-peer interaction. Your instructors will lead participants in a simulation of a company’s hoshin process. This simulation immerses you in a situation, like real life, where you must make decisions, debate, and come to alignment. The primary learning is experiential, supported by instruction in relevant tools and examples. Much of your learning will occur in the simulation through peer-to-peer interaction. The process requires participation from all attendees throughout the 9 weeks.

Learning Objectives

Through the simulation, you will be able to:

  • Discuss the fundamental framework for hoshin kanri. 

  • Clarify conditions for successful execution of hoshin planning and alignment in an organization. 

  • Discuss how to build a structure of PDCA at individual and corporate levels.

  • Understand the relationship of hoshin planning and A3 problem solving.

Maximize peer learning as well as instructor time in an online environment that helps you to breakdown strategic planning using hoshin kanri.

As a society we have learned to connect with each other online. Live e-learning provides the same opportunity. By attending this remote workshop, you will be led by your instructor and simulation CEO one step at a time, allowing you the space & time you need to reflect and apply the learning along the way.

    Mark Reich

    Before coming to LEI, he spent 23 years at Toyota in Japan and North America, most recently as general manager of the Toyota Production System Support Center (TSSC). As a hands-on GM, Mark directly implemented the Toyota Production System (TPS) or managed its implementation in a variety of industries, including automotive, food, furniture, and healthcare, among others.

    Mark doubled the number of companies supported by TSSC from 20 to 40. He transitioned it from for-profit to nonprofit status so it could better support its original mission to strengthen North American manufacturing and help any organization interested in implementing TPS. He expanded the client base beyond manufacturing to hospitals, schools, low-income food distribution, and nationally prominent nonprofits.
