Visual Management

One of the many strengths of the Visual Workplace is its flexibility and application to related disciplines.  In recent years, the related field of Visual Management (VM) has emerged.  While adopting many of the basic tenets of the visual workplace, VM extends the application of visual solutions into broader areas of internal and external communication, employee alignment, and organizational pride.  VM experts Steawart Liff and Pamela Posey define VM as a system that adds "visual depth and consistency to an organization's messages about its mission and goals."  It does this by "converting information about the company, its customers, and its performance into graphic displays which cannot be ignored."

For a good introductory article on VM, please see Stewart Liff's article, "Shaping Space for Success: The Power of Visual Management" (2012) http://www.thepublicmanager.org/docs_articles/current/Vol41,2012/Vol41,Issue01/Vol41N1_shapingspacefor.pdf
