About this Presentation

TOC is based on universal principles that underpin all solutions, processes, applications and tools in it. These principles - the Pillars - were verbalized by Goldratt in different occasions and in this presentation, we'll revisit each one and observe the relationships between the Pillars and the more commonly known aspects of TOC. The Pillars not only provide the foundations, but also determine the boundaries of TOC. These fundamental assumptions are basic beliefs thought to generally apply to all social systems: 1. People are good .... 2. Every conflict can be removed ... 3. Every situation (or system), no matter how complex it initially appears to be, is exceedingly simple ... 4. Every situation can be substantially improved ....

The principle of simplicity in TOC suggests that the more complex the problem, the simpler the solution must be. This principle is a cornerstone of humanity and is necessary for managing complex human organizations.
Consistency is crucial for long-term improvement. Conflicting theories limit our progress, so it's important to build theories that are consistent and harmonious with each other.
People have intentions that drive their behavior, perception, and thinking. Understanding this is crucial for managing and influencing people effectively.
