As business leaders we are constantly seeking out new ways to improve our business. This can range from a variety of aspects including: the workplace culture, teamwork, business consulting, financials, etc. To improve your business in any aspect you have to start from the root, in other words the management system in which your business operates.
What is Visual Management?
Visual Management can be defined as a technique that communicates important information in the physical workplace. It is a system of information displays, visual controls, labels and signs, color coding and other markings instead of written instructions. Typically, most people process information on what they see. Approximately 65% of the population are visual learners. Utilizing visual management in your business will tremendously help achieve the goals you set to improve your business.
The Purpose of Visual Management
You may be asking yourself what is the purpose of this extra step in creating visual management? Visual management can serve for multiple purposes, for example:
Clearly Sharing Information – Visual management provides us with the opportunity to share resources across the departments or teams in a way that is clear and accessible.
Developing Standardized Work – A standard set of work can be built through visual management. Having a standard can improve the quality of work. But don’t worry as with like, that will likely evolve and improve with time.
Bring Awareness Problems – Another purpose of visual management is to highlight the problems within your business. Having it laid out more visually makes it easier to see and then address problems.
Solving Problems – Accessing your problems through visual management gives you the opportunity to view your problems under a different lens and solve them more efficiently.

The Benefits of Visual Management
Saving Time – Visual management has the ability to cut down the time it takes to achieve an understanding.
Accountability – Everyone has their own role to play and seeing where issues occur (and who is in charge) allows for your team to take more of an active role in their responsibilities.
Improved Team Performance – Based on the benefits and purposes we’ve mentioned here, it’s clear to see that when used properly it can help streamline processes to create efficient actions.
