The document discusses using agile business processes and strategic policy deployment (SPD) to support high maturity organizational performance management (OPM). SPD is presented as a solution that combines clear priorities, behavior changes, continuous improvement thinking, and waste elimination to achieve business goals. It involves deploying annual strategy and commitments down the organization to ensure cross-functional alignment through shared measures and accountability. Frequent review helps identify obstacles to goals and empower employees to take rapid corrective action through kaizen.

14. Catchball
• Process to build consensus through dialog about the
goals and how to achieve them.
• Two way communication that arrives at a collective
wisdom on the priorities and the plans to deliver the
results.
• Leader needs to have a vision of what is needed and
how it may be achieved.
• Team will provide input on the specific how.
• The leader will confirm the plan:
• Push the team to stretch further if the plan comes short of
what he had in mind.
• Question and develop understanding of the plan if the plan
exceeds what he had in mind.
15. Targets
.
All priorities require a target so they can
be measured.
Targets have to be achievable, challenging,
based on reliable data, and SMART.
S - specific
M - measurable
A - agreed
R – realistic
T - timed
16. The DO Phase Act Plan
Check Do
• Stay focused on the plan.
• Make execution of the plan as visual as possible.
• Review the plan on a regular basis.
• Look at metrics daily/weekly
• Formal reviews monthly
• results vs. expected, as well as the countermeasure to
fill the gap
• Ask why if the team is doing things that are not in the
plan.
• Question frequently by going to see.
• Schedule the time to look for evidence that the plan is
proceeding and in control.
17. The CHECK Phase
Holding reviews maintains the discipline of the
process:
• Confirm progress of current activities to expectations.
• Confirm the results to target. Look for trends.
• Evaluate the plan and results.
• Be visual.
.
• Hold timely, regular reviews daily/weekly/monthly, dependent
on level.
• Look at metrics daily/weekly
• Hold formal reviews monthly
• results vs. expected, countermeasures to close any gaps
• Reviews should be disciplined and structured. Act Plan
A mini PDCA cycle takes place everyday as activities Check Do
are checked constantly.
18. The CHECK Phase
• Counter measures are data driven looking at
root cause.
• Check if previously identified counter
measures are working and on track.
• Don’t react to noise.
• Escalate issues that can not be resolved to
the next level.
19. The CHECK Meeting
The manager runs the review meeting.
.
The manager should focus on standard work:
•Metrics Chart
•Action Plan
•Corrective Action for RED Items
•Key Items at Risk
• Asking clarifying questions during the review
process.
• Making sure that each person knows what is
expected of them to move forward.
• Confirmation check – will this plan get us
there?
• Follow up at Gemba before the next review for
key issues.
20. Flow of the Check Process
The check/review process starts at the lower levels
and cascades upwards.
Company
BU
SPG/Unit
Department
Work Team
• Lower levels may check more frequently.
21. Check Questions
Policy Deployment – Questions to Ask
1. Do you have a plan?
2. Does the plan close the gaps to the goal?
3. Is the plan being executed on time?
4. Is the answer is no for any of these,the expected
If the plan generating generate a countermeasure
business results?
Monitor effectiveness of countermeasure
22. Look for trends – not just
red/green
• Metrics chart gives an overall view
if on track
• Use graphs and charts to see
what is really happening.
23. The ACT Phase
• If off track:
• Review the plan and countermeasures to confirm that gap
from the plan can be closed.
• Is the plan itself valid or does it need to be modifid?
• Follow up to determine if actions on the countermeasures
have been done.
• Go to GEMBA to check to see if progress is being made
on critical issues
• If on track
• Lock in the condition with standardized work
• Confirmation Check
• Does the plan and countermeasures link to the Act Plan
goal/vision?
• Does it seem reasonable?
