This ‘Obeya in 2 minutes’ poster gives a good impression of the what and why of an Obeya.

Obeya provides an overview and insight into the status of goals, bottlenecks that need to be removed and performance improvements. Obeya reduces formal meetings!

Obeya brings focus to results, acceleration and continuous improvement

Obeya is Japanese for “big room” or “war room” where all information is available to everyone. It is a room where strategy, achievements, projects and improvements come together and hang visually on the wall.

In our experience, hanging an Obeya poster on the wall offers several benefits to teams and organizations:

Visual Display: an Obeya poster provides a visual display of essential information such as project goals, progress, issues and action plans. This makes it easy for team members to quickly and clearly understand the status of the project.
Transparency: by displaying important data and updates in one central location, it promotes transparency within the team. Everyone has access to the same information, so everyone is on the same page and there is less chance of miscommunication or misunderstanding.
Collaboration and engagement: an Obeya poster in a shared space encourages teams to come together, discuss and exchange ideas. It fosters a culture of collaboration and engagement by allowing everyone to easily access important data and participate in discussions.
Faster decision-making: having all relevant information in one place allows teams to make decisions faster. This is because they have instant access to data and can identify and address issues as soon as they arise.
Continuous improvement: making performance and problems visible enables teams to continuously learn and improve. By regularly updating the information on the poster, teams can adapt to changes and make improvements based on the data collected.

In short, an Obeya poster on the wall is a powerful tool to improve communication, collaboration, and decision-making within a team or organization, which can lead to more efficient work and better results.
