About this Presentation
So what is constraining CCPM from becoming the irrefutable preferred project management and Business solution? This presentation will boldly go BEYOND CRITICAL CHAIN. The positive impact of Dr. Goldratt’s Critical Chain project management (CCPM) solution in every possible environment has been well documented. In fact, it is being used by companies that previously did not view their operations as project management. It introduced the concept of rigorous rules for planning and executing work content while recognizing and treating the required resources with equal importance as the work content. So that the schedule considered both work and the required resources. As innovative and powerful as CCPM was, focusing on planning and scheduling, it did not address the very important element of cost. Perhaps this omission along with the required rigor in planning, limited CCPM from a wider acceptance. Since then, the CCPM software solutions that were developed have addressed these limitations and have significantly contributed to a much wider acceptance of CCPM. Critical Chain (CCPM) software has evolved, providing a much fuller Business Solution. Leveraging Big Data Analytics, Artificial Intelligence Machine Learning; providing real time Intelligence, at the Project, Portfolio and now at the Enterprise level. Connectivity via the Cloud, interfacing with other software solutions and databases using API’s (Application Programing Interfaces) is now available. So, what is constraining CCPM from becoming the irrefutable preferred project management and Business solution? Many theories exist, expert pontifications and overall bewilderment abound. So, perhaps we collectively must dig deeper to discover the cause. Identifying the cause should point us to the breakthrough course of action.

Daniel P. Walsh
Daniel Walsh is a sought-after lecturer, coach, strategic thinker and is a trusted advisor to many senior corporate executives, is currently a member of numerous corporate boards. In addition, he is co-founder of Exepron©, an advanced EPPM SaaS solution based on Critical Chain methodology. His current efforts are focusing on developing synchronous enterprise value chain solutions in multiple industry sectors. His research and development are centered on identifying the need to identify and leverage the strategic constraints of the enterprise, which is the key to increasing throughput. This culminated in the development of the Integrated Enterprise Scheduling®, (IES®) solution engine. Initial empirical results from deploying the IES® in a dozen large companies over a five-year period have been very promising. Many executives and thought leaders are convinced this may very well be the unified scheduling solution required for maximizing the profit of an enterprise-wide value chain. The IES approach was chronicled when he co-authored The TOC Handbook, the seminal Theory of Constraints reference textbook.
