This is Part 2 of our conversation with Dr. Gwendolyn Galsworth—diving deeper into Obeya, visual leadership, and metrics that drive action. Missed Part 1? Check out Episode 16: The Visual Language That Transforms Work.
In this second installment, Gwen and host Keith Norris explore one of the most misapplied tools in the Lean toolbox: the Obeya Room. Together, they unpack what makes it powerful, where most efforts go wrong, and why visual metrics should do more than just “monitor”—they should drive.
🔻 The real purpose of Obeya (hint: it’s not about adding more dashboards)
🔻 Why digital tools often fail to deliver behavior change
🔻 The neuroscience of “touching” data—and how it drives accountability
🔻 The difference between metrics that monitor vs. metrics that drive
🔻 Gwen’s “10 Doorways” framework for building a truly visual workplace
🔻 How visuality grows self-leaders and transforms organizational culture
Whether you’re an executive, CI leader, or team supervisor, this episode offers a blueprint for using visual thinking and Obeya leadership to make strategy visible—and results sustainable.
