Policy Deployment – developing strategies
Why attend this workshop?
Policy Deployment (Jap. Hoshin Kanri) is one of the key operations influencing the competitiveness of companies. Skillful connection of business/strategic aims of a company/corporation with tactical and operational aims of every organizational entity is the key for integrating the entire company around one common goal.

operational indicators, reacting to problems occurring and continuous
improvement.
