Business Assessment

provides insight into your organisation

increases knowledge and understanding of the latest in leadership and management systems thinking
Strategy
Efficiency Works uses the principles of Hoshin Kanri to ensure we are working on the “right” things in the organisation.
Hoshin Kanri ticks the following boxes:
-
helps us understand where we are going and how we will get there
-
enables leadership to define direction but engages people to work out how to get there
-
applies a scientific method to the business situation
-
aligns all activities with objectives then deploys these activities in a creative, engaging way
-
defines the breakthrough projects that are needed to achieve your company vision
-
designs a structured but flexible process resulting in total alignment around these “must do - can’t fail” projects
-
creates visual systems for feedback
“ so easy to work with ”
