| Recommended: If you want to learn more on this topic.. Unless you are willing to commit to a workshop with a TOC Expert, you cannot beat the educational material developed by Eli Goldratt, the originator of the Theory of Constraints. He is an amazing teacher. The 8 Videos in his Satellite Program are a best-buy for a company, intended for use by groups of employees. His provocative coverage of every industrial application of TOC challenges managers to think in new directions, and to recognize the sacred cows in their organization and their own thinking. The 16-CD Self Learning Program is extracted from the same material but intended for use by individuals on their own PCs, rather than groups. The TOC Insights is a new interactive PC-based tool for individuals. As a TOC Expert I thought they were too "cute" ... until I used them with clients. They proved to be highly effective learning tools for the 5 major applications, and the Distribution and Supply Chain solution is documented in detail here for the first time anywhere. |
Planned: a Monthly TOC EZine This EZine is intended to be 100% practical, offering tips, advice and illustrations of users' experiences with the different TOC applications. TOC Experts with practical suggestions to real problems encountered with clients will also contribute. The EZine will promote the use of TOC in combination with other technologies, for improved results. We will be taking subscriptions soon. |

Conflict Resolution Think-through consequences Teamwork Improved School Governance |
Did you know that school teachers, principals, and students use Theory of Constraints? Internationally?
In 1995 Eli Goldratt established "TOC for Education" as a not-for-profit foundation. The heart of the mission is to improve children's education by giving them tools and training to help them learn, think and communicate more effectively.
It's probably a surprise to learn that teachers and Principals across North America are recording clear benefits from the use of TOC not only from their own use of the TOC tools, but by teaching students from kindergarten to Grade 12 the TOC approach to conflict resolution, how to think through consequences, how to work in a team, and more.
It might be an even bigger surprise to learn that the educational systems of countries such as the Philippines, Malaysia, Mexico, Yugoslavia, Venezuela, United Kingdom, South Africa are also taking advantage of the Theory of Constraints. For example, how about 35,000 teachers and 650,000 students being taught Theory of Constraints in Malaysia!
