Theory of Constraints, Critical Chain Project Management, Lean : industry consulting & training - Marris Consulting
In this insightful discussion, they dive deep into one of the key pillars of the Theory of Constraints (TOC): "People are good." What did Dr. Eli Goldratt, the father of TOC, truly mean by this statement? The three experts examine the nuances behind this idea and how it applies in organizational contexts.
While it might seem simplistic, the notion that "people are good" can be easily misunderstood. They clarify that this is not a moral judgment but a perspective on how individuals behave within structured environments, particularly when organizational goals and measurement systems influence them.
Through examples and anecdotes, including insights from David Updegrove's recent book on clear thinking, they discuss how organizational dynamics, measurements, and paradigms can influence behavior. They also consider the exceptions and challenges to this principle, acknowledging that not all environments or individuals fit neatly into this framework.
Whether you're a TOC practitioner, a manager, or just curious about organizational behavior, this video provides valuable perspectives on how to approach and understand human behavior in professional settings.
