A Hoshin X-matrix drawn once in a spreadsheet is a poster. In DO.Impact it is a live view of the same objectives, priorities and KPIs your teams work on every day, so the correlation marks stay true all year.
The demo opens a read-only manufacturer workspace with your email — no password, no card.
Set breakthrough objectives, annual objectives, improvement priorities and targets to improve, then mark the correlations. Because each item is a real record, a priority that stalls shows up on the matrix without anyone updating a slide.
Cascaded engagement takes strategy from the leadership team to value streams and shifts. Daily boards carry the KPIs the strategy depends on, so the link between the annual goal and today's output is visible.
Monthly board reporting and a weekly leadership review run from the same data as the matrix. Status is reviewed on a red-yellow-green cycle, and reports can be exported for governance packs.
Improvement priorities can be promoted to value levers once — never twice — and then tracked monthly in the benefit waterfall, so strategy deployment and financial delivery finally use the same numbers.
Hoshin Kanri software supports strategy deployment: turning a few breakthrough objectives into annual goals, improvement priorities, measurable targets and named owners, usually visualised on an X-matrix and reviewed on a fixed cadence.
The X-matrix is a single page linking four axes — long-term breakthrough objectives, annual objectives, improvement priorities and targets to improve — plus the people accountable. Correlation marks show which items support which, exposing goals with no supporting work.
Yes. The X-matrix sits alongside a simpler objectives-and-value-driver-tree view, so you can start with objectives and adopt the full deployment discipline when the team is ready.
Priorities on the matrix are the same records as the workstreams, actions and value levers tracked elsewhere in DO.Impact, so progress and financial benefit update automatically rather than being reported separately.
