About this Presentation
The introduction by Dr. Eli Goldratt in 2002 (Goldratt 2002) of a 'new' theory of constraints (TOC) thinking process (TP) called a 'strategic and tactics' tree (S&T) is being viewed by more and more executives and managers, as one of the most important breakthroughs in ensuring that holistic business or organization strategies are defined, properly validated, communicated and implemented to achieve harmony within organizations. The S&T can for the first time provide us with a practical process and logical structure for defining and communicating all the necessary and sufficient changes as well as the sequence of implementation of these changes to achieve more goal units for the organization. It not only answers the question WHAT and HOW, but as importantly the WHY. This basics workshop provides attendees with an introduction to S&T trees, how to create and use these to communicate changes within an organization and also how organizations can use these to address the common engines of disharmony within organizations that waste their scarcest resource – management attention. The workshop includes a real-life example and new developments to significantly simplify the process to create and validate S&Ts.
