Bringing People and TOC Knowledge Together Globally

The Theory of Constraints (TOC) provides a set of holistic processes and rules, all based on a systems approach that exploits the inherent simplicity within complex systems.

Inherent simplicity means identifying and focusing on the few “leverage points” as a way to synchronize the parts to achieve ongoing improvement in the performance of the system as a whole.

Join us at the 15th Annual TOCICO International Conference as we explore how to implement the Theory of

Constraints (TOC) to Break Down Walls of resistance and conflict, Build Bridges that foster collaboration

and bring about the kind of Reform in your Organization that leads to a vibrant, thriving new reality!
