Why Visual Management Boards Work for teams is because they unify them. In other words, each individual has access to the same information. Furthermore, they can communicate visually through them.
Firstly, let’s meet our example team member. His name is Greg. Secondly, discover why visual management boards work for teams like Greg’s.
Team updates
So, Greg takes parts in daily meetings. Above all, he (and his colleagues) use visual management boards to instantly access relevant information. For example, key team updates. Therefore, they use the team brief board to keep up-to-date. Similarly, they set targets, make assessments and show shift patterns. In addition, the real time status of the department is always visible. Therefore, he is familiar with his department’s current status.
Instant visual reference
Importantly, Greg can visually assess daily operations. Greg likes that he can easily check in on these metrics anytime. Furthermore, he finds the visual status indicators offer instant visual reference.
There is another reason why Visual Management Boards Work for teams. They visually engage the team fully in processes.
Involve the team
In addition, they facilitate team involvement. For example, the suggestions board. Greg and his team put it in place to share feedback. As a result, his team shares views on work issues. Likewise, Greg and his colleagues can choose to offer feedback anonymously. So, by using the letterbox facility. Above all, team members have the chance to voice opinions. Similarly, to make suggestions. In addition, this supports a review and feedback process for continuous improvement.
These are all reasons why Visual Management Boards work for teams. Discover more about how you can custom make your own team boards.

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.
