You’ve seen it before: endless meetings, unclear priorities, and decisions that never seem to lead to action. Teams work hard, but everyone’s looking at different dashboards, reports, and goals. The result? Misalignment, rework, and frustration.

Obeya offers a simple yet transformative solution. By bringing people, information, and strategy together in one visual space, it enables transparency, focus, and effective dialogue. In this training, you’ll learn how to design and use an Obeya to align teams, improve performance, and accelerate learning.

Through real-world examples and hands-on exercises, you’ll explore the four quadrants and eleven principles of Obeya, practise leading performance dialogues, and discover how visual management supports leadership, flow, and continuous improvement.
