Agne Nainyte on Strategy deployment with Hoshin KanriDigital Transformation | Process Excellence | Women EmpowermentSome time ago
Last year while backpacking in China, I realized that in West we have mixed feelings, opinions and views of China, some of which are fair.
However, it is also good to look what we can learn from the country which for centuries was a leading trading partner full of great inventions we still use today.
✔️ “Made in China” association of being cheap and low quality has dramatically changed in the past years. Chinese companies such as Huawei are becoming leaders in technology.
✔️ China is one of the leaders in terms of investments into artificial intelligence (AI).
✔️ More than 850M people were lifted up from extreme poverty over the last decades.
✔️ Power of a long-term vision supported by strong execution.
It’s clear that we cannot perceive China as “West copy cat” anymore. It seems like that very soon China will become a great example of innovation to West.
How do you perceive China and what we can learn from this country?

In this vastly changing world it's sometimes hard for organizations to imagine having a long-term (e.g. 3 years) plan. Some would simply say that it doesn't make sense in their business to think so far ahead.
Well, Amdi Krogh who is currently leading Maersk North Europe Operations office would argue with you for a bit.
Why? Because in 2017 there were similar discussions within Amdi's leadership team, but today after the 3-year breakthrough plan is implemented and shown its impressive results, doubts are gone.
It is an immense pleasure to share with you a story written by Amdi on how Maersk North Europe Operations organization implemented their 3-year breakthrough business plan based on Hoshin Kanri principles.
As an initiator of this plan, I am extremely pleased to see the business results which would have not been possible without hard work of the whole North Europe Operations organization always supported by the dedicated management and leadership teams!

It's December! The time for reflection and set-up of new objectives.
While I like the concept of noting down your New Year's resolutions, too often I hear vaguely defined sentences, which I doubt help people to achieve more.
I believe that New Year's resolutions shouldn't be a long list of actions you want to do, but rather a few personal breakthroughs which will stretch you.
With my experience of using Hoshin Kanri model in business, I wrote a blog post on how to define meaningful New Year resolutions which I think could drive personal breakthroughs.

An interesting read about how change is changing by BCG based on their experience in driving organizational transformations.
I especially liked their insights about 5 different strategies to drive change:
📍A planned itinerary - clear goals and steps on how to get there.
📍A river crossing - a clear goal, but a path is unknown.
📍A hill-climbing - means for change are clear, but not the goal.
📍Scouting and wandering - neither the goals, neither the means are clear, but you want to find the next business breakthrough.
📍Escape the swamp - a clear need to change fast and substantially.
Most transformation programs will require a combination of these strategies and leaders need to assess well in which situations a certain strategy fits the most.
