The key to successful improvement is to engender enthusiasm. Your employees must know what they will gain, as well as what your organization will gain.
Empower your employees by moving decision making down in your organization.

What I Can Do for You
My objective is always to improve your Return On Investment by:
- Improving Throughput (revenue minus totally variable costs)
- Reducing Inventory
- Reducing Cost
Using TOC and Lean techniques, this can usually be done without heavy investment.
In most business organizations there are only a few factors limiting the performance of the company as a whole. I identify those factors using Theory Of Constraints (TOC), Lean and agile techniques, and help you improve them. Thus, the work I do will directly improve bottom line results.
I can help you:
- Build support for improving the organization. I do this through a variety of techniques that let employees contribute information and ideas without groupthink or peer pressure.
- Institute measures that show how improvements impact the organization as a whole.
- Build a systems model of your organization. Such a model will show you:
- where to focus improvement efforts
- which strategic goals that are necessary to improve the system.
- a detailed road map, showing obstacles, and how to overcome them
- how to resolve conflicts of interest within the organization.
- Start using the TOC Focusing steps, a simple, practical, model for continuous improvement.
- Save, or mitigate the consequences of, disaster projects.
- Teach TOC, Lean and agile techniques to you and your employees.
