Research and Markets is introducing a new continuous improvement methodology: hoshin kanri. They claim that this is not really the next big thing to process improvement. It just provides a context for Six Sigma, Lean manufacturing, kaizen, and the others.

It is a strategic approach to continuous improvement that provides a context for all of the individual elements such as Six Sigma or Lean Manufacturing.
