Hoshin Kanri is a Lean tool to outline a business strategy.  It has a template which explains the strategy in a clear, concise & easy format to manage.  This is a great way to link the daily tactical activities with the strategic business direction.

The Hoshin layout will enable management to drive the business priorities while enabling the strategy to be cascaded down through any business to ensure alignment of goals / business objectives & programs.
