About this Presentation
Jean Piaget, the Swiss developmental psychologist and polymath defined structure as: wholeness, transformation, and self-regulation. Theory of Constraints 5-step focusing process consists of two different logical levels: (1) exploitation and (2) subordination and exploitation. Both are consistent structures within themselves. We most often fail when we concentrate on exploitation at the expense of subordination, this is part of the old paradigm. Theory of Constraints becomes truly transformative when we concentrate on subordination first, the remainder of the system becomes self-regulating. This presentation explores the gap that exists between different logical levels; first with examples from the natural world, secondly with similar examples from our industrial and organizational world, and finally Theory of Constraints in more detail. Several of the key enabling actions, and several of the key enabling reactions are then examined. Video length: . PDF: slides.
