POLICY DEPLOYMENT (HOSHIN KANRI) – Strategic Alignment Masterclass
Why This Training Matters
“Today’s automobile industry is changing faster than ever — EVs, safety norms, technology integration, and global competition.
👨👩👧 Common Man Example:
When a family plans to buy a new house, everyone must align:
-
Someone handles finances
-
Someone searches for properties
-
Someone handles documentationIf even one person is not aligned, the deal collapses.
🧑💼 Professional Example:
In HR, leadership says, ‘Improve talent pipeline’, but nobody defines how, when, who, or what metric to use. Result → Confusion & no progress.
🧑💼 Leader Example:
Leadership wants “EV leadership by 2028”, but manufacturing, R&D, HR and supplier teams all run in different directions. Policy Deployment brings one direction.”
Workshop Objectives
“Today, you will learn how to:
-
Translate vision into actionable goals
-
Create and use an X-Matrix
-
Cascade strategy into functions
-
Build KPIs that truly measure success
-
Enable reviews and alignmentIn short, you will learn how to make strategy executable.”
Agenda for the Day
“We will move from concepts to practice and finally a full EV-launch simulation. Expect a lot of movement, discussions, group work, and fun.”
Activity: ‘The Broken Assembly Line’-Circle Game
👨👩👧 Common Man Example:
Imagine one person cooks rice, another cooks dal, another makes chapati — but nobody talks about lunch timing or quantity. Lunch becomes a mess.
🧑💼 Professional Example:
HR is targeting hiring numbers. Production wants cost reduction. Quality wants defect reduction. None of them connect — because objectives are not deployed.
🧑💼 Leadership Example:
Leadership dreams big, but middle management interprets differently. Policy Deployment fixes this.”

Plan for success:
What Is Hoshin Kanri?
🎤 Narration:
Relatable Examples:
-
Common Man: Google Maps — you pick a destination, the app gives route, milestones, timing, and deviations.
-
Professional: Daily production targets that track hourly output.
-
Leader: Multi-year strategy broken into annual goals and departmental targets.
SLIDE 8 — The 7-Step Hoshin Process
“A simple, structured process:
-
Vision
-
Breakthrough goals
-
Annual objectives
-
Deployment
-
Catchball
-
Execution
-
Review & adapt
Just like planning a wedding — you set vision → guest list → tasks → vendors → reviews.”
Why HR Is Critical
Examples:
-
Common Man: You want children to score well → HR role = the parent creating schedule, tuition, environment.
-
Professional: HR aligns training calendar with new EV technology requirements.
-
Leadership: HR builds competency pipeline for strategic priorities.
Activity: Build Your First X-Matrix
“Teams will now create an X-Matrix based on the company vision of becoming India’s most reliable EV brand by 2030.”
Relatable Examples:
-
Common Man: Vision: "Healthy Lifestyle" → break into exercise, diet, sleep goals.
-
Professional: Vision: “Improve retention” → break into engagement survey, manager capability, recognition.
-
Leadership: Vision: “EV leadership” → annual goals like battery performance, cost reduction, talent pipeline.
Case Study: Toyota
Movie Clip: Ford v Ferrari
“This shows how a vague goal becomes specific, measurable, and executable. That is Policy Deployment.”

What Is Goal Cascading?
“Goal cascading is simply giving everyone clear direction.”
Examples:
-
Common: “We need to leave home by 6:30” → Mom packs, dad drives, kids get ready.
-
Professional: Company goal → team goal → individual KPIs.
-
Leader: Plant target → department target → line target → operator target.
The CATCHBALL Method
Examples:
-
Common: Family discussing vacation budget — everyone has a say.
-
Professional: HR & Production discuss hiring numbers.
-
Leadership: Strategy is refined based on functional realities.
Activity: The Catchball Game
“You will pass the ball around to represent how goals move down and up the organization.”
Case Study: Tata Motors
Movie Clip: Moneyball
“A perfect lesson on choosing measurable, meaningful metrics.”
What Makes a Good KPI?
“A good KPI predicts success, not just measures the past.”
Examples:
-
Common: Steps walked today predict health tomorrow.
-
Professional: Training hours predict skill improvement.
-
Leadership: EV charging station availability predicts EV adoption.
KPI Tree for HR
“Every HR KPI connects to business output.”
Examples:
-
Attrition → Quality
-
Skills → Productivity
-
IR Climate → Line availability
Activity: KPI Builder Sprint
“Your goal is to create KPIs that truly drive results, not just fill appraisal forms.”
Case Study: Maruti Suzuki
“Maruti is disciplined in KPI alignment. HR metrics link directly to plant outcomes.”
Movie Clip: The Intern
“Shows how observation + feedback loops improve performance — key in reviews.”
EV Launch Simulation Scenario
“Now we simulate a real-world EV launch. You are the leadership team. Build your strategy and deployment plan.”
Team Presentations
“As leadership, defend your deployment strategy. Expect tough questioning!”
Movie Clip: Apollo 13
“Shows the power of alignment under crisis — the essence of Hoshin Kanri.”
Action Planner
“Now translate everything into personal commitments.”
Reflection Roundtable
“What is one breakthrough idea you will take back to your plant or region?”
