A project-based investment process in a business idea is the basis for the application  of the learned visualization tool. I have been approached by the founders of a startup  with their idea of coming up with a strategic partnership and a consequential  investment from my company. My idea is to use the visualization tool to get an  overview of the timeline and to ensure, that no relevant due date is missed.

I installed a graphic design that is representing the timeline with all relevant dates.  We used colorful post-its to indicate where the individual processes are at each time,  so every team member of the investment process is able to overview the whole  process.

We applied the tool by advising every team member to show all team members  where their individual process is at the moment, with the consequence that we were  able to gather every relevant information on this particular timeline-wall with post-its.

The insight of using this tool was the satisfying feeling that every team member had  full visibility on where the investment process is at any time. Everyone had access to  this timeline-wall and the obligation to mark every important step with the result, that  everyone had an overview over the whole project.

Speaking about the lessons learned using this tool I have to admit, that with a more  detailed onboarding of all employees, explaining the idea behind this tool at a very  early stage would be helpful to get even better results out of this fantastic tool.
