Start by inviting your team members to your whiteboard, and brief them on how to use Klaxoon’s Board if need be.
As a team, list everything you can currently find in your workspace, and ask yourself whether it's useful. For each idea posted, add two options: keep or discard.
Collectively rank ideas according to how important they are (from the dark red to the light red box):
The rule to follow for setting your ideas in order is the following: the more important the object, the closer it should be to you. Keeping this in mind, post a space or storage place for each item in a different colored idea.
Here, suggest solutions or best practices to keep everything clean and tidy in your shared workspace. Post your ideas in a different color, so they're easy to see.
This step is an opportunity to capitalize on your best practices. For example, you can take a picture of your clean, tidy workspace to use as a reference for the future.
Finally, Shitsuke or Sustain is the final step of the 5S method. Each team member is responsible for a workstation or part of a workspace, and adds their name in Dimensions for the corresponding idea. So, no more excuses, you have everything you need to keep workspaces functional, efficient and pleasant!
