Visual Workplace Radio: Let The Workplace Speak

Q: Given the array of powerful visual tools that help executives learn to lead more effectively, what tool can we use to share a sense of improvement urgency and direction on the value-add level? A: The Operations Roadmap. In this week’s show, Gwendolyn Galsworth, your host and visual workplace expert, drops into place, this final visual leadership tool. Deployed by supervisors and managers, the roadmap is a stepdown version of the X-Type Matrix, naming the company improvement goals and objectives for the year—but connected to a specific set of departmental projects and tasks. While each work area’s roadmap is locally different, it is globally framed within the company’s overall direction. The roadmap provides each department with its own window on the corporate intent and how to contribute to it. In this final show in the series, Galsworth concludes with the roadmap and brings together all six visual leadership tools so their synergy becomes plain and compelling. Tune in/learn more.
