Your strategy lived in a slide deck

The board approved the plan. Three months later, nobody could tell you which daily actions connected to which strategic priorities. Teams were busy, but not with the right things.

Now it lives in every decision

TeamGuru's X-Matrix links your vision to quarterly targets and daily actions on one page. Every objective has an owner, every KPI connects to a goal. Progress is visible in real time.

Common questions

What is the X-Matrix and how does it work? +
The X-Matrix is a single-page strategic planning tool from the Hoshin Kanri methodology. It visually maps the relationships between long-term goals, annual objectives, improvement priorities, KPIs, and responsible owners. TeamGuru digitizes this so your entire organization can interact with it in real time.
Can we customize the number of strategy levels? +
Yes. TeamGuru supports multi-level strategy cascading. You can define your own hierarchy: corporate goals, divisional objectives, plant-level targets, and team actions.
How does catchball work in TeamGuru? +
When a leader proposes an objective for a lower level, the recipient can accept, propose modifications, or flag resource constraints. This dialogue is tracked until both parties agree, creating genuine buy-in.
Do we need to use Hoshin Kanri specifically? +
The module is built around Hoshin Kanri principles, but it is flexible enough to support other strategy deployment frameworks. The core value is creating clear goal alignment and traceability.
Can we track strategy progress across multiple sites? +
Yes. Each site can have its own X-Matrix that rolls up to a corporate-level view, giving executives a consolidated picture while site leaders retain autonomy over their local plans.
