Confessions of a Visual Site Assessor
How do you assess a workplace for visuality? How do you determine the current level of a site’s visual competency? What are the considerations? What do you look for—and how do you know decide what it means? This week, your host and visual expert, Gwendolyn Galsworth, returns to her favorite topic—The Visual Workplace—and shares her secrets and insights about conducting a visual site assessment (the first of two to three shows on this subject). Hear how she sets up her walk about and how she looks for and assesses what is there. Learn what she means when she states that her job is to tell merely by looking—and then to tell the difference merely by looking. Things get even more interesting when she reveals her other big job: to see what is not there. And what happens when she suddenly discovers that 10-15 other people want to join her as she tours. Listen as she seeks evidence of a system—first of a production system; second of an improvement system; and third of a system of visuality.
