In short, visual management shines continual spotlights on every aspect of achieving Operational Excellence. So, above all, don’t be left if the dark.
Driving Operational Excellence through visual management
Visual management delivers an interconnected approach for consistency. Therefore, visually executing an organisation’s overriding Operational Excellence objectives everyday.
In other words, it makes daily targets for Operational Excellence visible across the whole organisation. As a result, it is the visual foundation for creating a holistic working environment. Above all, one in which relevant and achievable goals are visible and accessible to all.
Likewise, visual management fosters a culture of collaboration. For example, by implementing a visual performance centre. This provides teams with a visual space in which to come together. Similarly, to be free from distraction. That is to say, a dedicated visual hub in which to analyse performance. In addition, to gain oversight and make decisions.
Most importantly, align the entire workforce to continually strive for Operational Excellence through visual checkpoints. Whether relating to achieving standards of leadership, efficiency, quality, safety, delivery or team engagement, sustainability and so on…
In short, visually connect with and execute the over-arching ambition of the organisation on a daily basis.
Target-driven visual management for Operational Excellence
Firstly, continually measure success. Therefore, commit to relevant targets against which to assess performance. Above all, makes these targets visual. Likewise, accessible at a glance. Secondly, correlate results against targets. So, for instance, update goals visually in real time. For example, using visual status indicators. Consequently, gain an accurate overview of actual achievements. Likewise, identify actions to make improvements.
Most importantly, recognise that achieving Operational Excellence is a process. In other words, a series on on-going actions across an entire organisation. Therefore, involving every team member.
Meanwhile, visual management is how you make this Operational Excellence process visible and accessible. Similarly, how you visually translate Operational Excellence into bitesize, tangible and achievable daily targets. Finally, how you measure and visually reference results.

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.
