SUMMARY:[FREE WEBINAR] Effective Policy Deployment in Aerospace & Defence: From Strategy to Action
DESCRIPTION: Date: Tuesday 17th November 2026 Time: 12.00pm – 12.50pm \nRegister Today!\n\nExplore how Policy Deployment can help aerospace and defence leaders translate strategic priorities into aligned objectives\, action and measurable progress. \n\nAbout the session\nAerospace and defence manufacturers and their supply chains are operating in a period of strong demand and investment\, bringing opportunities for growth alongside a continued focus on production capability\, productivity\, quality\, delivery\, resilience and complex customer requirements. The global commercial aircraft backlog surpassed 17\,000 in July 2026\, while the UK Defence Investment Plan is backed by £298 billion over four years. \nClear Strategy Deployment provides a structured way to connect these organisational priorities with the objectives\, measures and activity being managed across programmes\, functions and operational teams. \nJoin CQM Training & Consultancy for a free\, practical 60-minute Lunch & Learn exploring Policy Deployment\, also known as Hoshin Kanri\, within an aerospace and defence manufacturing context. \nThe session will explore how longer-term strategic direction can be translated into focused priorities\, measurable objectives\, clear ownership and coordinated action throughout an organisation. \nAlongside focused input from CQM\, the session will include contextualised interactive elements\, practical discussion and real-world examples\, giving participants an opportunity to explore Policy Deployment within the types of environments\, priorities and challenges familiar across aerospace and defence. \nDiscussion will consider the connections between strategy and areas including operations\, engineering\, quality\, programmes\, supply chain and Continuous Improvement\, alongside the role of the X-Matrix\, catchball\, performance measures and regular review in maintaining alignment. \n  \nWhat we’ll explore\nSubject to change the session is expected to cover themes including: \n\nThe principles of Policy Deployment and Hoshin Kanri\nTranslating strategic direction into focused priorities\, objectives and action\nCreating alignment across functions\, programmes and operational teams\nUnderstanding the role of the X-Matrix within Strategy Deployment\nUsing catchball to explore ownership\, dependencies\, resources and feasibility\nConnecting strategic objectives with meaningful measures\nEstablishing review routines that maintain visibility of progress\nApplying Policy Deployment within highly regulated\, safety-critical and programme-driven environments\n\nExamples and activities will be contextualised around familiar aerospace and defence priorities\, which could include delivery performance\, productivity\, right-first-time quality\, operational capability\, supply-chain resilience and customer requirements. \n  \nWhy attend?\nThis interactive session provides an opportunity to explore Policy Deployment through an aerospace and defence lens and consider how strategic priorities can be translated into clearer\, coordinated activity across an organisation. \nParticipants will gain practical insight into the connections between strategy\, priorities\, objectives\, actions\, measures\, ownership and review\, alongside an introduction to approaches that can strengthen alignment throughout the Strategy Deployment process. \nThe Lunch & Learn will also provide an opportunity to apply the thinking through contextualised activities\, discuss real-world examples and exchange perspectives with professionals from across aerospace\, defence and its supply chain. \n  \nWho should attend?\nThe session will be particularly relevant to professionals working within aerospace and defence manufacturers and their supply chains\, including: \n\nSenior\, Functional and Departmental Leaders\nOperations and Manufacturing Leaders\nOperational Excellence and Continuous Improvement Leaders\nProgramme and Project Leaders\nEngineering and Manufacturing Leaders\nStrategy and Transformation Leaders\nQuality and Business Improvement Professionals\nSupply Chain and Procurement Leaders\nProfessionals involved in developing or deploying organisational strategy\n\n  \nYour facilitator – Andy Cheshire\nAndy Cheshire\, Managing Director at CQM Training & Consultancy\, brings extensive experience of Continuous Improvement\, Operational Excellence\, leadership and Strategy Deployment within advanced manufacturing environments. \nHis manufacturing career has included senior Continuous Improvement\, operations\, project and commissioning roles\, giving him practical experience of leading improvement and organisational change within complex production environments. \nThrough CQM\, Andy has personally delivered development programmes within aerospace and defence organisations including BAE Systems and Teledyne\, bringing direct sector experience into his facilitation. \nAndy will use this combination of industry and development experience to connect Policy Deployment principles with relevant examples from advanced manufacturing. \n  \nAbout CQM Training & Consultancy\nCQM works across aerospace\, defence and advanced manufacturing\, supporting organisations to develop capability across Operational Excellence\, Continuous Improvement\, Lean Six Sigma\, leadership and Strategy Deployment. \nWe are members of ADS Group and the North West Aerospace Alliance (NWAA) and are an SC21 training provider\, helping us remain closely connected with capability development across aerospace and defence manufacturers and their supply chains. \nOur programmes combine structured development with practical application and can be contextualised around organisational priorities\, operational environments and existing improvement approaches. \n  \nRegister Today!
