Discover How to Connect People to Company Goals at Presentation by Lean Enterprise Institute COO
Cambridge, MA (PRWEB) September 06, 2017 -- Business executives, managers, and lean management leaders, can learn how to better align people with the company’s purpose and objectives at the presentation “Strategy Deployment and Alignment Through Hoshin” by Lean Enterprise Institute COO Mark Reich.
Reich will give the presentation October 10, 2017, 8:30 to 10:00 a.m., at the Iowa Lean Consortium Fall Conference, in Altoona, IA. The Iowa Lean Consortium organizes the conference annually.
Many organizations struggle with how to define annual objectives and develop people’s capabilities based on those objectives.

During the presentation, he’ll cover:
• A fundamental strategy deployment framework for successfully aligning an organization vertically and horizontally.
• How to effectively align functions and activities with strategic objectives.
• How managers can build a culture where management is purposeful in its approach.
• How hoshin planning can be utilized as a key component of leadership development.
• The long-term benefits of hoshin planning.
