Local
implementation of an holistic approach is an oxymoron.
Dear
POOGI forum members Why
are so many POOGIforum members, who are not already at the top of the
totem pole, blocked?
The
main obstacle that you point to is the fact that top management is not
willing to listen to you. As a matter of fact, most of you "complain"
that it is more likely that your top managers will listen to an outsider
than to an insider.
Personally.
I think that the message is more important (and effective) than the messenger
but you may be right. So let‘s check it. Let‘s check both alternatives.
Not
before long, hopefully within the next 4 weeks, I will send you a letter
in which I‘ll detail the entire logic of how to give a presentation
aimed at convincing top management to embark properly on POOGI. I will
also attach the power point presentation. This (once studied) will enable
you to give the message properly.
Also,
International Institute for Learning (IIL) have scheduled for me four
3-hour presentations in December. To make it as easy as possible these
resentations are free of charge.
But
they are limited to maximum three people per business unit, at least one
of whom must be a top manager. Top manager is defined as a person reporting
directly to a head of a business unit, or higher.
The
places in which I‘m going to present are: Detroit, Chicago, Minneapolis,
and Atlanta and the respective dates are 13,14,15 and 17 of December.
If
you can convince a top manager to attend, call IIL for an invitation.
Telephone: 1-800-385-4350 or 1-417-236-0992

Here
is the formal agenda of my presentations:
What
to change? - What is the core problem?
Every executive is convinced that the only prudent way to manage an organization
is to never lose sight of the global picture. Unfortunately, almost all
executives are also convinced that this is the way they are currently
managing their organizations. The first hour of this presentation is devoted
to not only confirm that this is not the case, but to clearly demonstrate
the erroneous belief that blocks executives from managing according to
their intuition.
To
what to change? -- What is the solution?
Everyone who has come across Dr. Goldratt‘s work is aware of his
strong logic and common sense solutions. You are most likely familiar
with parts of these solutions (in production, marketing and engineering)
from reading Dr. Goldratt‘s best-selling books; The Goal, It‘s
Not Luck and Critical Chain, but the complete solution is detailed in
his latest work, The Goldratt Satellite Program Videos. Since the complete
solution has been unveiled and is now readily available in the market,
this 3-hour presentation will focus on the answer to the next and most
crucial question…
How
to cause the change?
In the last 20 Years, a tremendous amount of knowledge and experience
has been gained from TOC implementations in thousands of organizations.
As it turns out, the obstacles standing in the way of proper implementations
have no relation to the type of industry to which an organization belongs,
to its economic environment or even to its size. All obstacles have one
thing in common: they are all human-related, psychological obstacles.
Identifying these obstacles and successfully overcoming each of them is
the essence of this presentation. You will obtain the full understanding
of how to embark on a smooth and successful implementation of an enterprise-wide
management approach; guaranteeing a successful process of ongoing improvement
to the bottom line.
As
I see it, you have three alternatives:
1. Do nothing.
2. Convince at least one of your top managers to attend one of my presentations.
3. Give the presentation yourself (once you will receive it).
Please
answer me which of the three alternatives you are likely to chose and
why. The "why" is the most important to me.
Waiting
for your valuable feedback
Eli
