Hoshin Kanri

Since 2000 or so, I regularly use a Hoshin sheet to jumpstart new projects or business.

Hoshin Kanri has its roots in the 1950s when lectures by Dr. Deming and Dr. Juran in Japan taught the Deming Wheel (PDCA Cycle) and the need to focus on management processes for continuous improvement, including both Breakthrough Management and Daily Management.

Hoshin Kanri is an organising framework for strategic management. It is concerned with four primary tasks:

*it focuses organisation attention on corporate direction by setting, annually, a vital few strategic priorities;
*it aligns these with local plans and programmes;
*it integrates them with daily management, and
*it provides for a structured review of their progress.

More and more companies recognized its value over the 30 years of refinement. Today, ”'[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Toyota_Way The Toyota Way]”’ resonates very well with the practices of ”’Agile Software Development”’. Joined with ”'[https://martien.aardrock.com/tag/holacracy holacratic] principles”’, government and practices it grows into a very effective leadership instrument.

Aloha: Emerce Co-Creation Update

Aloha-Emerce-Zaal.png

Korte Emerce update:
*Ongeveer 200 mensen
*Hele goede lezingen van:
**Roger Beekman en André Bouwman van ADK/60 layers of cake over open source.
**Sander Dullaart van Favela Fabric over teruggeven van aandacht, vraaggestuurd aanbod.
**Gert Hans Berghuis van Fabrique over drijfveren en zingeving voor co-creatie, samen met user generated value (i.t.t. user generated content). Ik creëer dus ik besta. Zo inline met Thoughts Become Things van Mike Dooley (van The Secret).
**René Jansen van Winkwaves over afstemmen op persona’s t.b.v. co-creatie.
**Pim Betist van Sell-a-Band; echt super! Ze hebben de eerst vijf artiesten die elk $50k hebben verzameld en nu professioneel aan de slag gaan. Totaal hebben ze $750k in kas, waarvan $500k dit jaar. 3k bands in 8 maanden tijd. You Are The Record Company.
*’k Heb met de meeste sprekers kort gesproken over Aloha en afgesproken een afspraak te maken. Vinden het een interessant concept.
*Aanloop bij de tafel was goed. Stonden lekker in het licht met een spotje erop. Met praatplaat van Dennis op A2 op een tafelezeltje.
*Wouter Boog, Visueel Vertaler van JAM, maakte grafisch verslag van de middag; trok veel aandacht en foto’s voor zowel JAM als Aloha.
*Wouter scant de platen nog in en dan zz we ze op de wiki.
*Emerce zal er ook wel wat mee doen in hun verslag.
*Kreeg nog iemand van WWF (WNF) aan tafel; is bijzonder geïnteresseerd; WWF mogelijk als Aloha Associate?
*Voor verslag, zie

Citizendium

Peter Westerink from Kayoo pointed me to Citizendium (sit-ih-ZEN-dee-um), a “citizens’ compendium of everything,” an open wiki project aimed at creating an enormous, free, and reliable encyclopedia.

Thanks for the pointer Peter. Inspiring for the [http://nnn.aardbron.nl NNN project].

BTW Are you familiar with the developing [[Reputation system for Wikipedia]]? Tom Cross writes about it in Puppy smoothies: Inproving the reliability of open, collaborative wikis.

Reputation: net promoter score (NPS)

Yet another reputation system—a Net Promoter Score (NPS) is the result of a customer satisfaction survey in which customers are asked only one so-called “Ultimate” question:

:”’How likely are you to recommend Company or Product X to a friend or colleague?”’

Does this work for communities and personal reputation as well?

Do ”’consumer driven innovation”’, customer care and ”'[http://wikinomics.com/ Wikinomics]”’ work? Well, at [http://www.pgconnectdevelop.com/ Procter & Gamble] they do. Read [http://www.cio.com/archive/020107/sb2_innovation_procter.html CIO Magazine on Wikinomics].

I’m a ”’big big fan of co-creation”’ and it’s been like this ever since the great Internet technologies like mail, the web and [http://java.net Java] emerged.

The Virtual Community, Howard Rheingold

Yes! Found a long lost book review on The Virtual Community by Howard Rheingold back thanks to Apple Spotlight. While at Sun Microsoystems, I sent the review to my fellow Mulitmedia Ambassadors and Human Interaction Engineers wordlwide on September 1st, 1994.

I was reading a Wired article on novellist Cormac McCarthy, having an office at the reknowned Santa Fe Institute in New Mexico,. This brought back memories of Stuart Kauffman, William Gibson and Howard Rheingold. All writers that have influenced my perspective. Wonderful.
