Run Hoshin Kanri with breakthrough objectives connected to real work across every level.

Everything you need to deploy Hoshin Kanri with live visibility from top to floor.

Hoshin Kanri depends on tight alignment between breakthrough objectives and daily work. Most implementations lose that alignment the moment the plan leaves the planning room. Vindaris keeps the connection alive by linking every level of your Hoshin plan to real tasks in HubSpot, Planner, Asana, and Google Tasks.

A target metric slips Catch the slip before the review cadence The Work Graph flags a stalled task as today's highest-leverage move because it drives a target-to-improve running behind plan, and tells the owner why. The catchball round Run catchball on the work actually at risk Owner and team read the same ranked list, so catchball opens on the priorities that are behind and closes with an agreed adjustment.

Alignment Canvas

See your Hoshin plan connected to the work driving it.

Map breakthrough objectives, annual plans, and improvement priorities into a visual canvas. Connect tasks from your team's tools so the X-matrix updates with real progress, not self-reported status.

Heatmap

Spot which improvement priorities are falling behind.

Run heatmaps across your Hoshin structure to see which improvement priorities have stalled work behind them. Catch risks before they reach the monthly review.

Data Studio

Run Hoshin progress reports without scheduling another meeting.

Build custom reporting views for catchball sessions and monthly reviews. Filter by objective, team, or target metric. Send summaries via Slack, Teams, or email.

From a Hoshin plan on the wall to a Hoshin plan connected to the work at every level.

Your team keeps working in HubSpot, Planner, Google Tasks, or Asana. Vindaris connects those tasks to your Hoshin structure so improvement progress and target metrics update automatically.

Hoshin Kanri aligns the organization on paper. Vindaris keeps it aligned in practice.

Hoshin Kanri is powerful because it forces vertical alignment between long-term breakthrough objectives and daily improvement work. The catchball process ensures every level agrees on what matters. The problem comes after the planning session: teams go back to their tools, priorities scatter, and the carefully negotiated alignment degrades week by week. By the time the review cycle catches it, months of effort have drifted.

Vindaris keeps that alignment live. Tasks from your team's real tools sync bidirectionally and connect to improvement priorities in your Hoshin hierarchy. When a task behind a priority stalls, the objective above it reflects the risk automatically. Target metrics update with real data. The Hoshin plan stays connected to the work, not frozen in a planning document that nobody opens until the next review.
