Course overview
A live event in Omaha, Nebraska
In this six-hour, hands-on workshop with Jim Benson, you will learn how to design and implement a practical Obeya—whether physical or virtual—that makes all your team’s work, plans, challenges, and opportunities visible and actionable in real time.
You’ll gain a clear understanding of visual management principles and how to use them to reduce confusion, eliminate unnecessary meetings, and foster a calmer, more focused work environment.
Expect to walk away with actionable templates, a deeper grasp of the psychology behind effective collaboration, and the confidence to immediately apply what you’ve learned to improve your team’s alignment, engagement, and results.
