A Focused Learning Program
Why Investing in a TOC Learning Path
Usually, the real objective of improving the system as a whole is overlooked in Corporate change efforts. Very often the focus is set only on local improvements of single processes, causing little or no impact on the performance of the company as a whole. Since organisations are interconnected systems, they have the opportunity to improve the entire system's performance by acting on just few elements (management levers) dictating the overall global performance.
​
The Theory of Constraints (or 'TOC') is a management model that provides tools and solutions to reveal and implement focused changes to the system whose improvements are orders of magnitude greater than those achievable through conventional approaches.
​
The identification and exploitation of such levers makes it possible to build decisive competitive advantages, very often without the need of major investments, thus maintaining financial and organisational stability. Once a decisive competitive advantage has been built, it's necessary to establish those mechanisms to capitalise on the competitive advantage and to implement those actions to ensure that the results achieved are sustained over time.
