Visual management is a management technique that uses boards and indicators to visually present a company's performance. This method enables teams to work more efficiently, identify problems quickly and make more effective decisions. We'll look at the benefits of visual management, the tools available to implement it and how best to use them.
Understanding visual management
Visual management is a method of visually presenting information that is important in managing a business. This method is based on the principle that humans are more inclined to understand and retain information when it is presented visually rather than in the form of text or raw data. Dashboards, graphs, and diagrams are examples of visual tools used for visual management.
Visual management is often used to help teams work more effectively. Dashboards can help teams to quickly identify issues, monitor progress and make more informed decisions. Dashboards can also help teams communicate more effectively by providing an overview of the business' performance.
