Cyril Daloz is the founder and CEO of iObeya, a French enterprise software company that digitizes the Japanese lean concept of the Obeya, a visual war room, so distributed teams can run their planning, brainstorming and problem-solving rituals on shared virtual boards. After two decades in enterprise IT and a first company, KAP IT, Daloz spotted the idea in 2011 while helping PSA Peugeot Citroen digitize its physical visual-management rooms. He has since grown iObeya into a platform used by large manufacturers, banks and aerospace and defense organizations, raising $17 million in Series A funding and opening offices across Europe, Asia and the United States.
iObeya is a French enterprise SaaS company that digitizes the Obeya - the Lean 'big room' where teams manage strategy and operations visually. Its Digital Obeya Platform recreates the paper-on-the-wall experience of physical war rooms as connected virtual boards, letting multisite and hybrid teams run Lean rituals, Agile ceremonies, KPI reviews and problem-solving in real time. Founded in 2011 out of work with PSA (now Stellantis), iObeya is used by large industrial and regulated organizations such as Airbus, Thales, Sanofi and Schneider Electric to align leadership and frontline teams and accelerate decision-making.
