Thank you for the kind words.
It's a bit hard to answer your question since it is very broad. What are the particular challenges in your environment?
If you want more detailed information on the concept, take a look at the book "Seeing is Believing: How the New Art of Visual Management Can Boost Performance in Your Organization" by Stewart Liff and Pamela A. Posey, DBA.
If you would like to discuss the concept as it relates to your situation, I would be happy to set up a call.

Thanks Stewart. I will take a look at the book.
I am referring to the environment where stakeholders keep rigid attitude towards change adoption.
Please advise on how to - "Combining the fine arts with generally accepted management principles".

When stakeholders keep a rigid attitude towards change, you need to convince them/prepare them for the change by demonstrating why the change is in their best interest. You could do this in a number of ways, with the best approach being to incorporate several of the following suggestions: 1) have them read the book "Seeing is Believing," 2) share several articles on the concept I have written online, 3) have them review a case study - e.g. the book "Bronco Mendenhall - Running into the Wind" by Paul Gustavson and Alyson Von Feldt, is a great one, 4) have them visit one or more sites that are using visual management, 5) bring an expert in visual management over to your organization to explain the concept in more detail and why it would be in their best interest to adopt the concept, and/or 6) show them a PowerPoint presentation that contains some real-world examples (I could send it to you via Dropbox if you give me your email address.)
Combining the fine arts with generally accepted management principles means first ensuring that your strategy, management systems and processes are properly designed and aligned and then using the fine arts to visually reinforce them by hanging up an integrated series of photographs, displays, posters, bulletin boards, artifacts, objects, monitors, etc. In the book "Seeing is Believing," we describe a six step process for doing this.
I would be happy to discuss this with you further if you would like. Saving Changes...
