How can you ensure that critical information flows quickly through your organization? And how do you facilitate the use of this information to enable more effective decision-making? For many organizations, this is a familiar challenge. Increasingly, Obeya is being deployed to address these issues. While the core concept of Obeya is relatively simple, setting up and effectively using this ‘big room’ can be a challenge.
