AREA INFORMATION CENTERS: Connecting All Employees
to Performance (Part 1)
Creating and sustaining high performance throughout any organization requires
the collective engaged efforts of ALL employees. The vision of successful organizations
is such that:
“Every Employee, Every Day comes to work feeling connected to the business and has
the ability and opportunity to drive continuous improvement to better their work.”
Area Information Centers provide the platform to bring employees at any level together
to demonstrate their engagement by documenting & reviewing performance, accepting
actions, setting priorities and driving continuous improvement.
Specifically, Area Information Centers are designed to:
- Follow a set meeting cadence (date, time & place)
- Make performance visual with real time data and trends
- Easily expose and identify opportunities for improvement
- Provide a format for communication of key operational information
Area Information Centers (AIC’s) are typically Whiteboards that are set up in the specific
location where the work is performed. They are considered a “low tech / high touch”
solution that are maintained and sustained through the shared responsibilities of the
specific team members.
