GOLDRATT’S SATELLITE PROGRAM - VIDEO

1. WHAT IS IT ALL ABOUT?

MOST EFFECTIVE

This program was taught by one of the world’s most sought after business leaders - author and educator, Dr. Eli Goldratt.

Eli Goldratt has been described by Fortune Magazine as a “guru to industry” and by Business Week as a “genius”. His charismatic, stimulating, yet sometimes unconventional style has captured the attention of audiences throughout the world. Eli is a true thinker who provokes others to think.

Eli Goldratt is the creator of the Theory of Constraints (TOC) and is the author of business best sellers The Goal, It’s Not Luck, and Critical Chain. Goldratt’s Theory of Constraints is used by thousands of companies, and is taught in hundreds of colleges, universities and business schools. His books have sold over 3 million copies and have been translated into 23 languages.

Goldratt’s fascinating work as an author, educator and business pioneer has resulted in the promulgation of TOC into many facets of society and has transformed management thinking throughout the world.

MOST COMPREHENSIVE

The key to comprehensive education is to have a common-sense foundation from which the analysis, of each function, naturally springs. Most people became aware of Goldratt’s work through his business novel The Goal; this book introduced a common-sense foundation - the Theory Of Constraint’s approach.

THE PROGRAMME:

Session one – PRODUCTION

How can we replicate Alex Rogo’s achievements described in the book, The Goal? The key lies in the ability to transform production from the prevailing cost world mentality into the common sense approach of the throughput world mentality. A shift in mentality is necessary in order to deduce the mandatory procedures; the Drum-Buffer-Rope (the logistic mechanism) and Buffer Management (the control mechanism).

Session Two - FINANCE AND MEASUREMENTS

Every reader of The Goal is aware that common sense will not prevail on the shop floor unless the financial approach changes. Cost-accounting based measurements are devastating.

What is less known is that the damage is not restricted to the shop floor - it is even more profound in marketing, sales and especially engineering. So what is a sensible financial approach which bridges the gap between the bottom line measurements (the profit and loss statement and the balance sheet) and the local measurements (efficiencies, payback period, product cost, etc.)? The simple, almost obvious answers, which are presented in session two are the foundation for the remaining sessions.

Session Three – PROJECTS, ENGINEERING, AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

Projects, like production, involve many resources, which have to carry out many tasks in order to accomplish pre-determined end results. Projects (especially in multi-project environments) have characteristics, which drastically differentiate them from production. Can we finish projects ahead of time, within the allotted budget and without compromising on the content? The previous two sessions provide the base from which to develop the surprising answer.

Session Four – DISTRIBUTION

With the exception of companies whose stated business is retail, most companies tend to ignore distribution. This is a huge mistake. Since every company is a link in a supply chain, most already realize that as long as the end consumer has not bought, nobody has sold. The biggest clot in the supply chain - the majority of the inventories - are usually found in the distribution stage. If a company wants to prosper its managers must understand how to help the distribution link to drastically improve its performance.

Session Five – MARKETING

Marketing should not be confused with sales or with advertising. Marketing is the ability of the company to bring the market to want its products. In other words the ability to create a competitive edge. If all the improvements that were initiated by the previous sessions are not converted into a decisive edge, the majority of the potential benefits will not be realized. Rarely can a company devise effective marketing without the involvement and contribution of managers from all functions. The challenge is to put the systematic framework that enables everyone to contribute.

Session Six - ACHIEVING BUY-IN and SALES

Not just the sales people but every manager in every company is required to sell; to sell their products, their suggestions and decisions, to clients, bosses or their own people. Is there an effective, systematic way to sell; to overcome resistance to change? The knowledge gained in the previous sessions enables the detailed construction of a decisive, powerful method.
Recommended reading: The Goal, It’s Not Luck, Critical Chain

Session Seven - MANAGING PEOPLE

The essential topics required to manage people are well known: conflict resolution, empowerment, team building, etc. What is not well known is that the same logical approach used in the previous sessions to derive solutions for the more “tangible” topics is equally effective at providing powerful methods to manage people. In the long term this session probably provides the most important know-how.

Session Eight - STRATEGY AND TACTICS

The objective of any company is to implement an effective and lasting process of ongoing improvement. Unfortunately, after the initial thrust most improvement efforts stagnate. The last session molds the know-how gained from all the previous sessions into a clear, over-all strategy backed up by detailed tactics. This long-term strategy ensures that the rate of improvement continues to grow over time.
