The at a glance rule is one of the central requirements of visual management.
In short, those reviewing the successful visual management board should very quickly – at a glance – be able to determine how things are working right now.
In other words, to ascertain the state of an operation, process or task. Likewise, to quickly identify improvements and drive positive action.
Above all, include these elements on your visual management boards to achieve success:
- Clear visual controls
- Visual status indicators
- Daily, weekly or monthly performance tracking
- Visual standards performance tracking.

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.
