About this Presentation
The presentation covers a new theory of constraints (TOC) audit process focused on learning the right lessons faster from experience. An audit process should make up a critical part of any process of ongoing improvement (POOGI) in each of the applications of TOC when applied to both individuals and organizations. This presentation presents the development and testing of this new process in three pilots - helping individuals learn from with stressful expectation gaps experienced in various aspects of their life; helping care takers learn from the experience of their treatment plans in helping children with autism; and helping business managers learn from the pleasant and sometimes unpleasant surprises when there is a significant gap between expected and actual outcomes.
