Engage Your Teams to Achieve Lasting Performance Improvements
How can you engage your teams to achieve lasting improvements in safety, quality, costs, and timelines? The key lies in organization and collaboration: observing and understanding the activities in your work environment, and empowering everyone to take action to improve it.
Visual Performance Management (VPM) is the essential collaborative methodology for the day-to-day management of your company’s performance. At Cubik, we develop and enhance VPM together with our clients by formalizing best practices and providing a framework tailored to your culture, your teams, and your specific needs.
The Principles of the MVP
In practical terms, the MVP means:
- Defining management areas to structure the organization and responsibilities
- Development of simple, visual, and operational metrics to effectively manage activities
- Regularly scheduled rituals to track progress and adjust actions
- A system for reporting improvements, enabling the organization to build on initiatives and resolve issues quickly
- Overseeing improvement initiatives to ensure the effective implementation of decisions
- Managerial consistency among the company’s various stakeholders, from the front lines to senior management, with a three-tiered management structure and clearly defined roles for support functions
Benefits for Competitiveness and Motivation
The MVP aims to sustainably increase competitiveness by engaging all teams and providing daily support to managers. In particular, it enables:
- Improving Working Conditions
- Bringing Meaning and Interest to Work
- Process Control
- Operational Excellence and Value Creation
Multi-level management using POP rituals
The approach involves multi-level management through POPrituals:
POP 5’: The Team’s Daily Ritual
A quick ritual that takes about 5 minutes at the start of the day.
It uses a dynamic schedule or a totem to visualize the key performance indicators for the department or sector.
POP 15’: The Coaching Ritual
A daily or weekly management review conducted by the management team, using the in-depth visual management dashboard: dynamic schedule, activity indicators, immediate action sheets, focus table, versatility matrix, etc.
POP 30’: The Leadership Ritual
A control room ritual for the executive team, enabling them to regularly monitor the entire organization and performance metrics, and to steer the strategic projects to be undertaken.
See, Understand, Act
Visual Performance Management gives meaning to action:
- See: understanding reality, what is planned, and concrete results
- Understanding: analyzing, anticipating contingencies, and leading operational meetings
- Taking Action: Driving a Culture of Action to Achieve Sustainable Performance Improvements
