What if you had a treasure map that revealed the right steps to take in the right order to most rapidly achieve your goals and dreams? A map that provided laser clarity on how to best address/resolve/achieve any issue? And what if your map was accompanied by a compass that kept you continuously focused in the best direction on the right priorities, so you stayed on-course and on-target? Sound too good to be true? Well, here's great news and my promise to you: You have the means to create your own unique treasure map and compass in your hands now. It's called the Hoshin Success Compass and it's a remarkable process for getting--and keeping--your success priorities straight. Inspired by the work of Dr. W. Edwards Deming, the legendary Einstein of business and quality, Hoshin is a Japanese word/concept translating roughly as Shiny Compass Needle aligned with your Guiding Star. The strategic discovery, planning and action system of Hoshin Kanri is the master guidance system for the word's most successful companies (Kanri essentially means management of the revealed Hoshin direction). There are even intriguing linkages between Hoshin and ancient, foundational Buddhist principles for realignment with The Way. This Way is your unique path for greater success and fulfillment. In my experience, Hoshin serves as a catalyst for reawakening one's internal Way or guidance system. It then aligns our Inner Compass with our Guiding Principle Star (GPS), another piece of the golden puzzle of strategic self-alignment. The combination seems to create a more consistent state of being in the right place at the right time, with the wind at your back as opposed to in your face. This book is a distillation of the essence of the Hoshin process, which comes in many variations and hybrids. More detail on Hoshin and Dr. Deming can be found in the back of the book. Want to be all you can be (and more) in your life? Want to lose weight, feel great, or make your fortune? Make the most intelligent decision(s) regarding any important issue? How about enjoy a great relationship, find and live your true purpose--or, indeed all of the above? What makes the Hoshin process so uniquely powerful is that you discover for yourself the best path forward, regarding any dream, desire, goal or challenge. World-class businesses like Toyota, Honda, Hewlett-Packard and Proctor &amp; Gamble utilize the proven power of Hoshin to chart their way to success. In my Fortune 100 strategic alignment work, I've led the group Hoshin for teams and companies across the globe. Along the way, I designed a unique personal application of Hoshin, a key focus of my public and corporate seminars and executive coach work. The concise version of that process is in the pages ahead. As you'll discover, Hoshin is powerful, simple and fun. The process elegantly reveals what I call the hidden higher order, a level of more enjoyable and efficient functioning. For many of us, our experience of this higher order remains elusively random. This concept of a hidden higher order echoes a key principle from Chaos Theory. It suggests that hidden within apparent chaos is a higher order pattern, a pattern we don't see from our present perspective. Hoshin is a most powerful tool to gain the perspective necessary to be able to see and act on this higher order. The higher order is the more direct and fulfilling route to your aim, your Guiding Star. Key qualities of the higher order are the best steps to take--in the right sequence and timing--to achieve any goal or dream, address any challenge, discover your unique talents and genius and live your purpose. Each person, team or organization always has their best answers--access to their higher order--within. Yet those answers are often scattered about like jumbled puzzle pieces. Hoshin brings the pieces together, integrating them into a new pattern of potential.
