What is Odyssey?
The Odyssey Program was initiated fifteen years ago by Dr. Goldratt. He did this in a quest to teach thinking skills to young adults.
The Odyssey Program development followed requests by successful TOC practitioners wanting their family members and close friends to receive the opportunity to explore the world of TOC.
During the program, participants learn and apply the simple basic Thinking Process Tools to reveal, understand and challenge their assumptions, and by that reveal and clarify the stepping stones required to achieve fuller life.
The work is done without time pressure, so that participants have time to explore their chosen subjects.
The Odyssey Program further provides the opportunity to meet young people from around the world and be exposed to alternate ways of thinking. Alumni friendships from around the world have proven to remain long after the Odyssey Program is concluded.

Quotes from past Odyssey attendees:
"I really had the time of my life at the Odyssey. Didn't think that you could have fun, learn powerful techniques remove conflicts and constraints and apply what you've learned all at the same time and in just 5 days. You really helped me realize how much potential I have and what it possible; if I simply follow the plan I developed. Cant wait to return next year as an Alumnus to continue my Odyssey journey. Thanks for everything."
"Odyssey definitely impacted my life forever. It has changed my way of thinking in such a positive way. I would highly recommend Odyssey and look forward to coming back."
"I spoke to my daughter today. She said you guys were an "inspiration" for her, funny, approachable, and fun. She said she had such a great week, and I am so glad she was able to learn from you and with you."
"Let's see, what did I learn at the Odyssey 2005 course? I learned how to solve my problems while aligning emotion and logic - how to step back from the conflict and find ways to solve it in a way that there are no winner-looser solutions, only win-win answers ..."
