Workshop 1 Initiate – Workshop Aims and Learning Outcomes The aim of this workshop is to build on the knowledge that learners have gained through undertaking the e-learning module on visual management. They will embed that knowledge through practical implementation on a real site by identifying opportunities to apply visual management in their role and workplace. This will include visual displays for their workflow and visual controls and aids to help identify what needs to be done and how, as appropriate to the needs of their site. During the half-day session, the facilitator will remind the learners of the key issues for visual management and will then guide them through the process of identifying real opportunities to use visual management techniques on their site, culminating in an Action Plan that they can implement to realise the improvements and benefits. On completion of this workshop learners will have a) explored areas for using visual management in their workplace, b) brainstormed ideas for what visual management techniques and tools are suitable for their site, and c) developed an action plan for implementing visual management. The delegates need to come away feeling more knowledgeable about visual management, but importantly more confident in being to assess and implement visual management techniques themselves in their workplaces, and likewise knowing where they can go should they need support. Preparation for a Successful Workshop Preparation for the workshop should be undertaken 2 weeks previously during the preliminary session, between the facilitator and project manager. The project manager needs to work with the hosting Partner’s facilitator upfront to assess the potential for improvement project opportunities on the selected construction project that will benefit from visual management. They also need to talk with the project manager to identify and engage with the relevant teams to take part in the workshop
