Session 1 -  The Visual Workplace: Creating a Workplace of Visual Thinker

How do you achieve productivity increases, even after value-stream mapping and standard work? And how do you transform your work culture in the process? Understand what workplace visuality is, why it is so important, and how the visual workplace not only creates a lean work culture, it drives it. Join Dr. Galsworth as she presents her 10-Doorways model for creating a workforce of visual thinkers and a fully-functioning visual enterprise. Learn to assess the current level of visual competency in your company.

Session 2 - The Building Blocks of Visual Thinking

How do you transform your workforce into spirited, improvement-hungry, self-motivated contributors? Answer: Teach them the building blocks of visual thinking and create a common improvement language in your company. Join Gwendolyn Galsworth as she explains what each building block means, what it does, and how employees use them to wipe out information deficits and create a workplace that speaks. See a dozen visual solutions in action. Learn the formula for thinking visually.


Session 3 - Visual Management: What It Is ... and Is Not

It’s become popular to promote visual management (VM) as the “the answer to everything visual.” But that is a mistake because that equates VM with workplace visuality. Learn what visual management really is, why it is important, where it fits, and the real purpose of KPI charts, monitors and dashboards. Discover why VM is powerless to improve KPIs but is still indispensable to your company’s stability and growth.

Session 4 - Work That Makes Sense: Operator-Led Visuality

Why do many companies struggle to create a spirited, engaged, and empowered workforce? Join Gwendolyn as she frames Work That Makes Sense, her prize-wining process for transforming the workplace. Through dozens of examples, she shows you how WTMS teaches operators to think and solve in a new way. Learn why, as they grow in knowledge and know-how, they become powerful, confident contributors and make their workplace speak.


Session 5 - Case Study: Brandt Engineering & Denison Hydraulics

What does a visual conversion look like at a high-complexity/low-volume site—versus one with a stable product line and higher volumes? In this final session of Series 1, Dr. Galsworth shares the timelines, training approaches, and challenges of two such companies, both focused on the same outcomes: increased productivity, improved quality, and a spirited and engaged workforce. Join us for business insights and more practical take-aways.
