Making Decisions Visible: Transforming Risk into a Performance Enabler

Friday June 26, 2026 10:55am - 11:40am CEST

3. Meelzolder

In many professional services organizations, risk and compliance functions are experienced as slow, opaque, and misaligned with business needs. This session presents a real-world transformation of a 50-person Risk & Compliance team in a global law firm, responsible for AML/KYC approvals required before client work could begin.

The firm faced growing tension: lawyers experienced delays of up to two weeks, trust in the risk function was low, and workarounds were becoming common - creating both commercial and regulatory risk. At the same time, the risk team felt overloaded, undervalued, and disconnected from the firm’s strategy.
Rather than replacing people or introducing a new methodology, the transformation focused on redesigning the decision system itself. Over 90% of the team remained unchanged. Performance shifted through clarity of direction, visible work and flow, domain-based specialization, clear ownership, and daily leadership support. A shared performance dashboard created a single, transparent view of reality for the team and firm leadership, aligning speed with compliance.

Within four months, the team improved its core performance KPI by 85%, achieved same-day decisions, stabilized attrition, and rebuilt trust across the organization.

This case demonstrates how Obeya-aligned principles unlock performance, strengthen human engagement, and deliver clear, measurable results.

From visual boards to governing systems: how Obeya restores decision quality in complex organizations

Friday June 26, 2026 2:15pm - 3:15pm CEST

3. Meelzolder

Many organisations adopt Obeya to improve alignment and collaboration, yet struggle to translate visual management into sustained performance and sound governance. Too often, Obeya remains a facilitation practice rather than a governing system.

This session explores how Obeya can be designed and used as an integrated decision-making system in complex organisations, where ambiguity, competing priorities, and cross-functional dependencies challenge traditional management models. Drawing on experience across sectors and knowledge-intensive organisations, the presentation demonstrates how Obeya strengthens decision quality by clarifying responsibilities, making trade-offs explicit, and connecting human judgment to operational and strategic performance.

The session challenges the common assumption that a better culture alone leads to better outcomes. Instead, it shows how governance structures, management systems, and decision architecture shape behaviour, learning, and results. Obeya is presented not as a visual tool, but as a mechanism for restoring coherence between strategy, execution, and accountability.

Participants will gain insight into how mature Obeya implementations support portfolio governance, strategic execution, and leadership decision-making in high-complexity environments. The session is aimed at leaders, decision makers, and experienced Obeya practitioners seeking to move beyond boards and rituals toward system-level impact.

Obeya maturity & success factors: data driven research insights

Friday June 26, 2026 4:05pm - 5:05pm CEST

3. Meelzolder

Built on insights from 80+ completed Obeya Maturity scans across industries and geographies, this session delivers the clearest picture yet of how organizations use Obeya to drive performance.

It will reveal where organizations sit on the maturity curve, which routines and behaviors consistently separate top performers from lower performers and what the common pitfalls are that slow progress.

Feiko, Eric, and Yoram will provide insight how maturity relates to impact (e.g., faster decision making and improved predictability to targets).

And they will share their experience from real implementations, along with practical tools and stories that you can apply immediately.
