Why you need software to support Hoshin Planning process

Hoshin Planning is a powerful strategy deployment and execution tool. Done well, it involves many people working collaboratively through catch-ball to define and deploying strategy into action. But this collaboration comes at the cost of a huge proliferation of spreadsheets – even the simplest cascade creates tens, if not hundreds, of different X-matrix, bowling chart, action plan and countermeasure spreadsheets.

But the issue here is not the number of spreadsheets. But the interconnections between them. You will know from your experience that if you change one matrix/spreadsheet this will affect data in many others. Suddenly you are trying to reconcile many different inconsistent versions of the plan. And this is just a deployment process, never mind the execution.

As soon you follow up on your plan, the number of updates going into bowling charts and actions plans surge. Brining it all together becomes a truly herculean and a non-value adding exercise. The good news is it does not have to be this way. https://goo.gl/yLXteq
