Visual Workplace Radio: Let The Workplace Speak

Borders are the work horses of operator-led visuality—but rarely used to their full potential. This week, your host and visual expert, Gwendolyn Galsworth reminds us of to first position and connect workplace items in terms of their functions. In this way, we can capitalize on the power of Smart Placement and its core formula: Function + Location = Flow. Then she tells us how to nail that connection through borders, addresses, and (if possible) ID labels: how to implement the visual where. Begin with borders, starting from the floor up. Then move to walls, benches, shelving, cabinets, and drawers—and then to what’s inside each of them. In the end, borders get installed for everything that casts a shadow—a requirement that applies equally to easy-to-move items and to those items that never budge (machines and tall shelves). Join her and learn not only how to apply borders effectively—but how to let your borders get smarter as you get smarter. Build your visual performance vocabulary.
