Hoshin Kanri-a strategic planning and management system-has been successfully used by Toyota and other top-tier companies in Japan and the United States to achieve lean goals, operational excellence, and strategic business success. At its core, Hoshin Kanri is more than a process: it is a people-driven system that aligns leadership, teamwork, and organizational culture to deliver sustainable results.

This book emphasizes the human side of Hoshin Kanri, focusing on employee development, management behavior, motivation, core organizational values, and culture transformation-the real factors behind any company's success. As Akio Toyoda noted, the growth of a company can outpace the development of its people, highlighting the critical importance of investing in human capital before processes.
