Am I on my own?
If you want to introduce your colleagues to TOC, what do you do?

In Eli Goldratt’s last ever public seminar, he asked the audience (as he often did) “Who has read my book – The Goal?” He then says “About 80%. So now a different question. How many of you had the courage to implement it? Ah, about 15%. So let me pick a person at random. Have we ever met or spoken before?” The man in the audience says “No”.
Eli continues “Did you get results?” The man answers that he did; he applied the ideas into a financial services business, dramatically reducing lead times and improving performance. He also states that he got a pay rise and a new corner office!
Eli makes the point that this is typical – anyone who really tried got results. He also makes the point that it takes courage. Courage is definitely a necessity but is it sufficient?

The common sense found in the pages of the best selling book The Goal is the foundation of the Theory of Constraints (TOC). Silver bullets do exist. TOC brings fast and significant results, and with such silver bullets there also comes a natural resistance from the prevailing culture.
Listen as Dr. Goldratt shares his analysis of what prevents companies from taking actions shown in The Goal, and HOW by implementing TOC as a holistic approach this can be overcome and major benefits can be achieved.

|

|
|
The goal of TOC is to bring companies to become ever flourishing – a company which continuously and significantly increases value for shareholders, customers and security to employees. Companies must find the silver bullets to achieve such objectives. Building, capitalizing and sustaining a Decisive Competitive Edge (DCE) is the key. But how do we find such silver bullets? How do we build a decisive competitive edge and how do we sell it? The Theory of Constraints provides the answers to these mind-bugling questions.

The TOC Dictionary provides the following definition:
Decisive Competitive Edge (DCE)
A significant sustainable market advantage over competitors.
Usage: A DCE exists only if an organization satisfies a significant market need to an extent that no significant competitor can. In many situations, competitors are unaware of the problems their industry or the conventional mode of operation creates for their customers. An examination of the problems the industry creates for its customer is the starting point for identifying a potential DCE. Price is never considered a DCE. Availability, inventory turns, or reliability are potential retailer‘s significant needs and can be turned into a DCE.
A DCE is similar to the traditional concept of competitive advantage but differs in the mechanisms used to identify the DCE. The DCE is identified through an analysis of customer problems created by the suppliers‘ industry.
