About this Presentation

We are often tempted to add more and more projects into execution. However, beyond a certain point, this leads to delays as it divides our time, money, management attention, and resources. By strategically subtracting a few projects, we can actually multiply profits by improving focus and efficiency. So how do we determine the right number of projects? What guidelines does TOC provide? What are the key rules? What critical questions should we be asking? And do these same principles apply to internal improvement projects? This session will explore TOC-based decision-making for managing project portfolios, providing practical insights on balancing workload, maximizing throughput, and ensuring sustainable growth.
