Obeya stands out as a powerful tool for enhancing team clarity, collaboration, and organizational effectiveness. At their core, visual systems provide context, narrative, and real-time communication, creating a humane system to boost productivity and foster a more collaborative and focused work environment. For any Obeya to work, people need visualizations that mean something to them on a practical and personal level. Systems they personally create and maintain are more likely to provide the information they need and a continuous reward for their use.
We want to build Obeyas that people will use and benefit from.
Drawing from decades of experience in visual management, Jim and Toni will delve into:
- The Psychology / Neuroscience of Obeya: Understanding how our brains are wired to quickly process visual information and how Obeya leverages this, exploring concepts such as cognitive load reduction and motivational triggers that make Obeya an engaging and effective psychologically-safe tool.
- Building Effective Boards: Practical insights on creating visual boards that resonate with team members, tapping into psychological principles of engagement and motivation.
- Obeya as a Multi-faceted Tool: How Obeya serves as a tactical, strategic, and psychological instrument, replacing inefficient communication methods with visually compelling storytelling.
- Creating a Healthy Workplace: The role of Obeya in fostering transparency, reducing stress, and promoting a culture of continuous improvement.
Jim and Toni will provide a deeper understanding of why Obeya works with the knowledge worker’s “machinery” - their brains! - and how to leverage these insights to create more productive, effective, and above all humane work environments.
