A Comprehensive Package for Project Managers and Project–based Organizations

Can an organization achieve very high due date performance without compromising on the project\'s content or budget... ALL THE TIME?

YES, in these three programs, Dr. Goldratt methodically walks through the necessary elements to fully understand all changes (what, HOW, why and in which sequence) that need to be implemented to achieve this.

Considered a masterpiece, the Goldratt´s GSP (Satellite) Program
taught by Dr. Eli Goldratt, reveals \'What to Change\' and \'What to Change to\' in project management execution. It provides the concepts & examples for applying TOC to a Project-based environment.

With the TOC Insights into Project Management
, users learn how projects can finish ahead of time, within the allotted budget and without compromising on the content by applying Critical Chain, Project Buffer, Feeding Buffers, Staggering and Buffer Management.

The Goldratt Strategy and Tactic Program (GST)
provides the ROADMAP for applying the TOC solution called Critical Chain Project Management, in a structured, well communicated and synchronized way, lead times are immediately reduced, capacity is revealed, quality is increased and therefore companies are able to take on more projects with the same resources, realizing more revenue and rapidly growing in their industry. A truly Decisive Competitive Edge solution.

Dr. Goldratt methodically walks through the necessary elements to understand, intuit and fully experience the Strategy and Tactic for Project-based environments.

A knowledge learning package to:

  • Get the know-how of the Theory of Constraints (TOC) solution for PROJECT BASED environments.
  • Learn the project management execution application of Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM) to complete (multi-) projects ahead of time, within the allotted budget and without compromising their content.
  • Put SIMPLE & common sense procedures that your team can put into practice for IMMEDIATE results, resolving the Student Syndrome, Parkinson’s Law, Multitasking, Resource contention, early start vs. late start.
  • Gain consensus from different stakeholders.
  • Use as a comprehensive and system-focused learning resource for organizational development, group training, curriculum or library
  • Learn all necessary changes (what, HOW, why and in which sequence) that need to be implemented.

Projects, like operations, involve many resources which have to carry out many tasks in order to accomplish pre-determined end results. Projects (especially in multi-project environments) have characteristics which drastically differentiate them from production. Learn how projects can finish ahead of time, within the allotted budget and without compromising on the content.

  • Simulated project results with the DRUM
  • Analysis of the solution
  • How to focus using the Five Focusing Steps:
    • Step 1: Identifying the system's constraint
    • Step 2: Exploiting the system's constraint
    • Step 3: Subordinate everything else to the above decision
  • Simulated project results with the DRUM and BUFFER
  • How do we set priorities? Buffer Management

The TOC Insights into Project Management

This easy-to-follow resource shows managers how to shorten project delivery time, eliminate cost and scheduling over-runs, manage project resources more efficiently and finish projects that meet or exceed expectations.

  • An extensive explanation of the Theory of Constraints (TOC) application of Critical Chain Project Management execution (CCPM) for PROJECT BASED environments.
  • With simple & common sense procedures Project Managers and their teams will learn the significant impact of student syndrome, parkinson’s law, multitasking, resource contention, early start vs. late start, to benefit from Goldratt's techniques of how
  • Learn at your own speed and easily review any of the material, as you need!
  • Developed in an interactive type presentation for self-learning as well as group training, they provide the know-how of “what to change?” and “what to change to?”

The TOC Insights clearly describes and explains the concepts and principles behind critical chain project management execution:

Critical Chain
 - the longest chain of dependent events considering resource contention.

Project Buffer 
- aggregated protection against uncertainty to protect project completion due date.

Feeding Buffers
 - aggregated protection against uncertainty to protect the critical chain.

Staggering
 - the mechanism to significantly reduce bad multitasking in multi-project environments.

Buffer Management
 - a process for monitoring and prioritizing according to the critical chain performance.
