The Gestalt of TOC is a 3 hrs. video recorded in April 2011. The late Dr. Goldratt masterfully presents the Theory of Constraints, NOT as a set of solutions to various aspects of an organization, but as a solid and practical management approach that enables stakeholders to bring and sustain their organization in levels of performance not seen before.
The complete video is NOT released to the public and is available to you when registering to the TOCICO 2012 International Conference through Goldratt Marketing.
|
Presenting The Gestalt of TOC
|
This video presentation shows:
- The holistic aspect of the Theory the Constraints as a management approach
- How every single piece of TOC is aimed to leverage from the constraint of every organization.
- How and where the TOC solutions fit strategically and tactically to build a decisive competitive edge.
- Why TOC enables engines of harmony that propel performance
- Examples of how real companies and organizations have used TOC to achieve the above
What past attendees are saying about the
TOCICO Conference and WHY you should attend:
- Life has a way of causing you to lose the TOC perspective -- attending TOCICO annual conferences is essential for reinvigorating my outlook on life.
- Coming for the first time, knowing only few people I was impressed .... Every question and request was addressed. In 4 days, I got a yearly university course from great teachers from all over the world in a variety of topics. It was a great opportunity to share ideas and learn from others' experience.
- It is hard to narrow the value of this conference or learning to one thing. Learning about the significant advancements in generating new TOC knowledge,...
- This was my first conference, but I've been reading various books on TOC (including all of Dr. Goldratt's for years), so I thought I knew a little something. But, coming to the conference and listening to Eli's two days and then the others speakers, well it was like stepping through a door to a whole new level of understanding. I look forward to continuing the journey!
