TOC Thinkers

Podcast interview with Alex Knight about TOC in healthcare

Late last year I recorded a 25 minute interview with Alex Knight about TOC in healthcare. 

Alex knows his stuff having worked very closely with Eli Goldratt over the years.  You can read his one-pager here, you can find his website here,  and you can listen to the podcast here.

I saw Alex present a session on TOC in healthcare about a year ago and it was one of the most entertaining and convincing presentations -  on any subject - that I've ever seen. 

The Theory part of Theory of Constraints - a new resource

The T part of TOC often gets overlooked.

Tom Kemp, a TOC thinker, emailed me earlier this week about a new TOC initiative he's working on:

I'm for a few people who really want to think about the Theory, rather than the practice, of TOC, but who also have deep knowledge of other areas such as mathematics or a scientific discipline. I'm personally missing the 'academic' component of my work (having come from a strictly academic background) and am casting around for people to get involved with thinking through some of the deeper, quieter issues with a view to writing some papers.

If this sounds like you then Tom has set up an online forum/wiki at tocwithacapitalt.wikidot.com.  Go visit or email him if you'd like to chat.

I know - from experience - that Tom knows his stuff.  He gave me some excellent feedback on my book.
