HOSHIN“DIRECTIONMANAGEMENTMANAGEMENT”Successes

Aha! Moments“I didn't realize jjust how critical myy action themesare to this year’s strategy.”“I aligned well with my boss, but even better withth system.”thet ”“I’m a lot more aligned than I thought I ever was.”“ThisThis is just a really good overdue conversationwith my boss.”“Wow,, it was hard and challengingg g time-wise,, butI'm glad we had these conversations before the FYstarted."

Actual AlignmentgL. Holmes,Director:gy OppCardiologyMargin – 33%J. Fajkus,Administrator:Dept of Med OpDept.Margin – 14.7%B. Quinn,Clinic Manager:Decrease clericalovertime by 65%T. Elkins,PatientServiceSpecialist:pMaintain lessthan 1 hourper month ofovertime

CollaborationIn the ppast,, pphysiciansyand “business partners”phadseparate goal setting-processes, even though physiciansare employeesTh result?Thel ? VERY diffdifferent goals lThis year, collaboration was evidentHow did we gain physician buy-in?buy in?Physician-led organization: President/CEO and CMO CMO’s messageg to direct reports:pPhysicianyparticipationppisnot optional Office of CMO sent out joint appointments to physiciandepartment chairs and administrators

Results of Collaboration?Co-Catchball Sessions CMO,Physician Department Chair, and Administratorworked together to document and prioritize goalsSimilar (if not identical) targets in critical areas: Qualitybenchmarks ContributionCib i margini Staff Engagement Patient Satisfaction RVU’sProcess was repeated out through the physician/business partner ranks

“Other Initiatives”Catchball process allowed leaders to take ununaligned tasks OFF their plateIn other goalgoal-settingsetting methods, tasks were nevertaken away only added!

Bigg WinsCommitted senior leadersMultiple modes of learning and communication Classroom,video, webinars, website, e-mailCoach availability/ flexibility Deepbackground knowledge of Lean AND operations All other tasks removed: FOCUS on SWAT! Do-Whatever-It-Takes attitudeAltarum Partners Predictissues, pitfalls and recommend strategies HelpH l iimplement,lt bbutt tteachh us tot own it ourselvesl

Remember our Lean Groundwork?System was starting to trust that traditional Lean tools influenceoutcomes 5S, A3 Problem Solving, Waste Walk, VSMIn ggoal-settingg sessions,, sometimes the “what” was clear,, but the“how” wasn’tLeaders and staff looked to Lean tools to help with the “how”and listed Lean pprojectsjin the “Action Steps”p area of theSWAT formExamples of 5 new VSM projects: O.R.O R scheduling H.R.H R orientation Retail pharmacy Call Center O.R. turnover

HOSHIN“DIRECTIONMANAGEMENTMANAGEMENT”Lessons Learned

Lessons Learned ((The HARD Way)y)Involve Project Manager earlyFinalize the steeen-kin’ form prior to pilotBrace yourself for naysayers, skeptics, grouches,and jjust pplain old mean ppeoplepCentralized scheduling is a bear

And Project the “processing time” needs and staffappropriately (3 minutes x 9,700 forms ?)Don’t underestimate the number of ways people cangoof up an Excel formDetermine minimum standards WhenWhtot sendd theth formfbackb k tot owner forf revisioniiBelieve your consultants when they say that truecatchball takes an hour!“catchball”Believe your consultants when they say that 1-3separate “catchball”catchball sessions may be required tofinalize goals!

Three More Just for Leaders Ask top tier leaders to commit to TRUE catchballsessionsiaheadh d off timeiSend appointments and block calendars EARLY Crammingg a catchball session into 20 minutes isn’t feasible,,especially the first time REQUIRE “plan” data from senior team when goals aresetNo excuses, no exceptions Best guess and then revise later if necessary 2-tiered completion deadlines insufficientTop tier (450) took 2 months Delayed cascade Remaining 9,000 staff had to complete in 2 months

SummaryyDon’tt confuse “simple”Donsimple with “easy”easy HoshinPlanning IS simple. It is NOT easy.Year 1 won’twon t be perfect Theheart of lean is continuous improvement – it’s okayto take risks,, make mistakes,, and *gasp*g p fail.Use carrots, not sticksSenior leader champion is essential
