Governance
Our own model, adapted from Hoshin Kanri.
From the board's Compelling Business Need to the operations manager's PoC, with a three-year North Star that filters what enters the program.
Compelling Business Needs
Defined with the board and the areas that own the P&L.
Three-year North Star
Strategic filter. What enters the program and what stays out.
O3 and O1 cascade
Three-year and one-year objectives, with a roadmap by vertical.
Scorecard with leading and lagging KPIs
Those you can move now and those that consolidate outcome.
Two parallel layers
Optimization layer over existing processes and a new-business layer.
Monthly governance
Review with sponsors and KPI owners. No closing PowerPoint.
The method takes Hoshin Kanri's discipline of cascading objectives and tunes it to the rhythm of running a Venture Client Unit.
