Building Shared Vision

Building Shared Vision

Foundation Stones

Our methodology commences with a workshop. This is designed to bring together your organisation’s key individuals with B6 Solutions, so that together we develop the two foundation stones of our partnership – the Shared Vision and the Hoshin Plan.

Objectives

B6 Solutions will lead the workshop. The first objective is to create a vision for your business that we all understand and can be shared with other parties. The second objective is to take this vision and turn it into a strategic plan against which quantifiable business development strategies are defined.

Shared Vision

Using a process that looks at the organisation, its position in the market and the competition, both now and in the future, a Shared Vision is developed that provides:

	A practical view of the future
	A picture of successful achievement
	Effective communication internally and externally
	The drive and energy to change

Hoshin Plan

With the Shared Vision as our reference, we then use the Hoshin planning process to define:

	A Breakthrough Objective – this is a SMART objective that will generate significant improvements in business results taking you one step closer to your Shared Vision
	Strategies – these are SMART strategies that will overcome the barriers in achieving the Breakthrough Objective
	Ownership – of the strategies to ensure they are fulfilled
	Review process – to measure progress of the Strategies

SMART

	Specific – be precise in stating what you want to achieve
	Measurable – quantify your objectives so you know when you have achieved them
	Achievable – although a stretch from your current position the objective should not be seen as completely out of reach
	Realistic – make sure you have the resources to achieve the objective (people, budget, materials, time)
	Timely - state when you will achieve completion of the objective (by duration or date)

Hoshin Process

This is a systematic approach to identify, sort and resolve those issues that require real breakthrough ideas and those that require incremental improvement by:

	Defining key business issues based on current business plans and market data
	Planning to ensure they are addressed
	Measuring Progress
	Reviewing Results
	Providing linkages in the organisation

Essential Plans

The Shared Vision and Hoshin Plan are the essential planning documents for your organisation to move forwards. It is only after this workshop that B6 Solutions believes a proposal of services can be developed that truly reflects your organisation’s requirements, which in close partnership dovetails into and enhances your internal resources.
