Visual Workplace Radio: Let The Workplace Speak

Does the location of things at work matter? You bet! Finding that right location can accelerate the flow of work—or slow it to a standstill. This is the logic of Smart Placement and its formula: Function + Location = Flow. Over the next several shows, Gwendolyn Galsworth, your host and visual workplace expert, shares her Smart Placement approach—that indispensable step before laying down borders. Today, she defines the problem of placement that is not smart and shares a mapping tool so you/your teams can discover the level of motion (moving without working) in your area currently triggered by un-smart location—the un-conscious placement of function. Smart Placement doesn’t just show us where things are. It ensure that things are in the right place—not simply a designated location (as in “a place for everything/everything in its place”)—but the smart place for a function (item), its right location in relationship to every other function in the area.
