Gemba Academy's New Course Helps Organizations Achieve Strategic Goals by Creating a Powerful Visual Tool Known as the X-Matrix
KELLER, Texas, May 10, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Gemba Academy, the world's largest provider of continuous improvement, Lean, and Six Sigma training and certification is pleased to introduce an online, on-demand, video-based course on the X-Matrix. In this course, participants learn how to organize and visualize long-term strategic plans through the use of the X-Matrix, a document that helps create ownership, alignment, and detailed plans for achieving strategic objectives.
"The X-Matrix provides a format and set of practices to deploy strategies, by first breaking down long-term goals into annual objectives, identifying improvement priorities, and creating ownership for action at all levels of the organization," describes Kevin Meyer, co-founder, and partner at Gemba Academy.
Gemba Academy's X-Matrix course includes the following video segments:
- What is an X-Matrix?
- Getting Started with the X-Matrix
- How to Create an X-Matrix
- How to Deploy Strategy Using the X-Matrix
- Monthly Reviews Using the X-Matrix
- How to Use Bowling Charts for Strategy Reviews
- How to Use the A3 and the X-Matrix for Hoshin Planning
Along with this information, Gemba Academy's new course teaches the importance of a process known as "catch ball." This involves building strategic plans through two-way communication, consensus, and logical allocation of resources.
"I have many fond memories of working with the X-Matrix back in my corporate days," says Ron Pereira, co-founder and partner. "We used the X-Matrix as a way to execute and track our Hoshin Kanri (Policy Deployment) activities. I am extremely confident that this short course is going to add tremendous value to our customers."
