Frequently Asked Questions
What is Obeya?
The idea is that the Obeya provides all relevant, up-to-date information about the objectives of the company, about how they are achieved, about the people who work passionately to realize these objectives. That’s where we begin to build the new reality of tomorrow.
The Obeya provides an advanced visual representation of the relevant, planned work and work in progress of a group of people in an organization, therefore supporting their frequent meetings and their drive to continuously improve group performance, while taking their shared strategy to execution and professionalizing collaboration across teams.
