The
visual where requires a border plus address for everything that casts a shadow. That is the hard-and-fast definition. And it serves your business purposes exceptionally well, not just at the outset as order begins to emerge visually, but also later when your focus shifts to sustaining and extending the important visual functionality already achieved.

This Week's Episode
Master Class: Training Visual Trainers
What do visual workplace trainers contribute? How do they add value for the company--and gain value for themselves? Join us this week as Gwendolyn Galsworth brings back the news from her most recent Master Class--in the cold, remote regions of western Minnesota. Listen as she shares how she trained a team of visual workplace trainers to use visuality to envision and build the company's business case. And how, in the process, they discovered that: a) it's a mistake to use operator-led visuality as just an expanded form of 5S; b) their role as coaches is more than simply ensuring that monthly visual blitzes get scheduled and occur; and c) they can use visuality to introduce TIME into operations--with or without lean. As they began to master visual thinking, these trainers began to see how to advance the company's operational cpk (capability) and teach others how to surface and link up key feeder functions and let the workplace speak.

Sustainment: Prepare For It! (Part 4 of 4)
by Dr. Gwendolyn Galsworth
To be complete, a company's journey to a fully-functioning visual workplace must address information deficits on every level of the enterprise, including office and support functions. In most companies, this process can span two to five years. Yet with a nearly-guaranteed productivity increase of 15% to 30% (in offices as well) and robust cultural alignment as prime built-in outcomes of workplace visuality, it's well worth the investment of time, money, and hope.
In the final segment of this four-part series, we pull back and examine the premise underlying our discussion: that it's well worth preparing your company for a successful transformation--whether you begin with visual, begin with lean, or begin with 5S. Build in your sustainment. The fact is, the rush to launch any of these improvement protocols without prep and planning has forced far too many companies to face down blocks and barriers that could have been resolved in advance. I named three, one for each of the first three previous issues...
