5 key principles for visual management
- Firstly, provide self-explanatory visual cues.
- Secondly, make information visible and accessible for your team. Above all, at a glance.
- In addition, work with real-time information.
- Create a visually engaging work space.
- Most importantly, make your own processes visual.
These principles for visual management work through delivering:
- Intuitive visuals that are easy to understand.
- Creating visual management boards that are instantly clear.
- Having visuals that are easy to update. Above all, in real time.
- Showing visuals that stand out. Likewise, engage your team.
- Reflect your process. Most importantly, making performance and status instantly visible.
Further specific examples of those principles for visual management:
- Make visuals that are clear and drive Continuous Improvement. For example, with daily status tracking.
- Use status indicators to make targets instantly understandable. For example, with Red/Green status.
- Update information anytime in real time. For instance, using dry wipe.
- Provide engaging visuals. In other words, visual management boards that ‘pop’ with fresh, clean, clear design.
- Use universal colour coding in a fresh and appealing way. For example, status indicator meters.

Our Approach
We create visual management boards everyday. As a result we have plenty of experience. We work for organisations in food production, the power industry, national rail, pharmaceuticals, education, healthcare, packaging and distribution.
Our team works with a simple idea or sketch and creates a professionally designed layout. This is then turned into a highly functional visual management board.
We offer customised options because we want to create the perfect board for you. So, here are a few examples. We can add magnetic areas or a dry-wipe finish (for use with whiteboard pens). Furthermore, you can choose Red/Green sliders or R.A.G. (Red, Amber, Green) status dials so you can quickly and visually update your board. These are just a few examples of the ways in which our boards can be tailored to meet your needs. You may also be interested in whiteboard overlays that can be used on top of an existing magnetic board.
