Why It Works

The power of Obeya

People prefer visual information over text, making Obeya so powerful.

  • Obeya is not additional work; it replaces existing meetings, reports, and protocols, ultimately saving time.
  • It provides a complete overview for clear situation assessment and informed decision-making.
  • Obeya is not just about the room or board but about the conversations that take place there. It’s about seeing, learning, and acting together.
