A part of Lean is Hoshin Kanri (HK). It is a form of policy development or strategic planning.
Like any good strategic planning process it deals with the mapping out of how the business can get to the desired outcome.
Translating the long term vision into manageable objectives and actions.
Hoshin Kanri is based around the idea that we are all domain experts within your own fields, and hence have something to contribute no matter where we stand in the organisation.
For it to work effectivity, senior and middle level management must be prepared to delegate some authority and trust.

We are in the height of summer here at the moment, with regular daily temperatures around 30-35C. With the heat comes the risk of bush fires. Now this may not be of a concern to those of you living deep within the ‘burbs or in the inner heart of a city.
However for people such as myself that live close to large tracts of urban bushland or on the edge of suburbia, this is a very real and constant threat. During the summer months, you are constantly aware that you may have to evacuate with only a few minutes notice.
