Shaping Space for Success - The Power of Visual Management

Visual management can help your agency deliver better service. Combining performance management, human resources management, organization design principles, and fine arts shapes your environment to positively influence your employees and improve overall performance. Take a moment to look around at your workspace. What do you see? Unless you’re at the Pentagon and in an executive suite, you likely see a typical government office with people situated in workspaces that are bland, uninspiring, not particularly functional, and rather non-descript. There are probably few, if any, references to the organization’s customers, mission, or history. There are probably no more than one or two areas that celebrate the work of the employees. Finally, it’s likely that very little performance data, at either the group or individual level, is posted throughout the organization.
