Operations Management Foundations: Improve business outcomes

My mentor once said that the biggest constraint that any organization has is "Management Attention. " He also said that, no matter how difficult or complex the problem may seem, if the leaders of the organization were able to put their heads together and think clearly, they could solve any problem they were facing. I truly believe that.

What poisons organizations today is a lack of focus, specifically from the leadership team. Trying to improve everything everywhere is a sure way to fail. Or worse, playing whack-a-mole and only addressing the latest issue that is on everyone's mind.

Leaders need a process to answer the question: "Out of all the things that we could be doing, what should we be doing to improve our company. " - What they need is a systematic, scientific approach to help leaders focus on the most important area of their business. Applying the concepts of the Theory of Constraints (TOC) has been the most effective way I have seen for leaders to do such thing.
