We are pleased to post this guest blog by Theresa Coleman-Kaiser, Senior Associate Vice President for Administration at Michigan Technological University.
I have been practicing online coaching using Lean principles and Kata concepts during short, frequent meetings for nearly six months. I started with finding my own coach who then guided me to begin and improve this practice. I now have six coachees that I am guiding to strengthen their own success and to improve Michigan Tech.
The coaching sessions were going really well, but they lacked any Visual Management element which is an important Lean tool that makes work visible. My coach encouraged me to figure out a way to incorporate Visual Management into my online coaching sessions. I created a video to explain how I used rapid experimentation through several PDCA cycles to implement Visual Management.

I hope you enjoy learning from my experience. Do you have an effective way of using Visual Management using an online platform?
