A poorly designed Obeya can do more harm than good — creating clutter instead of clarity. Information gets lost, visuals overwhelm instead of inform, and discussions drift without real outcomes. To unlock the power of visual management, you need a space that connects the right people, to the right information, at the right time.

In this practical training, you’ll learn how to build such a space. You’ll explore the principles behind effective visual management, discover how to connect long-term strategy to daily execution, and practise designing Obeya layouts that enable flow and focus. You’ll work with templates, frameworks, and real-life cases to bring your Obeya to life.

By the end of the training, you’ll not only know how to design an Obeya — you’ll understand why it works and how to keep it evolving with your organisation’s needs.
