Benchmarking Request: Hoshin Kanri

Benchmark Request

Oracle is advancing its CI program beyond the “tools” and is taking the next progressive step toward strategic CI planning. Hoshin Kanri is the first planning tool that comes to mind, and Oracle is curious if any member companies use CI strategic planning like Hoshin for their CI program or even the business planning. If so, are you willing to field questions (via phone call) from the CI team on your steps taken and lessons learned? To respond to this benchmark request, please add a comment to this post on the website or contact Philip Taylor at [email protected].
