Practical TOC Episode 5 - Thinking Processes Jun 09, 2017

Show notes

The TOC thinking processes are a set of tools that help us with analyzing what to change, what to change to and how to make the change. They are based on common sense and cause and effect logic that guides us to overcome obstacle as they're being discovered. The tools are extremely useful and help organize the thoughts around finding the root causes and injecting a solution that will actually work.

Practical TOC Episode 4 - Advanced CCPM May 25, 2017

Show notes

In this episode I provide additional insight into CCPM, I discuss additional reasons to those mentioned on episode 3 for projects delays and talk about how to address them with CCPM. I also talk about the important role of CCPM software.

BTW - I increased the playback speed by 3% thinking the listening community will appreciate a faster talk. For some reason it caused some pauses in between sentences to be shorter then natural. I'm still learning the ropes of running a podcast and this is a mistake I'm not going to repeat.
