Creating
Enterprise Connectivity through
the Process of Dynamic Strategy Deployment
Bob Dean and Mark Kohler
Nine out of ten companies fail to meet their
strategic objectives because they are unable
to deploy successfully. Over 85% of
executives spend less than one hour per
month discussing strategy. Only 5% of the
workforce understands the strategy and their
role in making it happen. On average, only
25% of managers have incentives linked to
the strategy. And nearly 60% of
organizations don’t link resources and
budgets to strategy. Why—a lack of linkage
between business strategy and operational
plans.
How do we build a better process? How do we
take our lean initiative to the next level?
Strategy Deployment, often called Hoshin
Kanri or Policy Deployment—is the most
effective process lean companies use to
align the objectives of business units and
build consensus to focus their efforts on
the most critical and vital few business
objectives. The roots of strategy
deployment come from Dr. Fakuda who was
working with a Japanese electronics
manufacturer to create consistent quality
across multiple manufacturing facilities.
Anand Sharma, founder and CEO of TBM
Consulting Group, embraced the process and
worked with Dr. Fakuda to adapt the process
to achieve breakthrough objectives, create
organizational focus on the vital few, and
align resources to ensure successful
strategy deployment.
Today, TBM has taken strategy deployment a
step further by introducing technology to
the strategy deployment process. Companies
must continue to commit to the process with
leadership, passion and discipline.
However, new tools facilitate and enhance
the opportunity for success. Dynamic
Strategy Deployment™ creates greater
connectivity for multi-site, global
corporations who need to streamline the
strategy deployment process. The tool is a
dynamic dashboard that helps clients to
implement strategy deployment, track key
performance indicators and share best
practices across the entire enterprise. The
end result is connectivity, alignment and
accountability with a solid approach to root
cause, counter measure and action plans.
Join Bob Dean, Executive Vice President
of TBM Consulting Group and Mark Kohler,
former Vice President of Manufacturing at
Snap-On Tools. Bill will provide some
background on strategy deployment and share

technology and played in helping him achieve
