The basics of Hoshin Kanri

"The problem with most Hoshin Kanri books is they describe a methodology that is complex and overwhelming to most leaders and their companies. The need to essentially change the culture of the entire organization to make Hoshin work, just isn't practical for many companies when first starting out. Supplying clear explanations of the steps of hoshin kanri, this book advocates using Hoshin as an important tool to improve the existing planning and execution system while simultaneously working to move the culture of the organization forward."
