Julie Wright "found" TOC during her undergraduate studies. Coming from an engineering background, she read Eli Goldratt’s book "The Goal" twice in one weekend and needed to know more. After attending the TOC Odyssey and receiving a university degree in Business and Science, she headed straight to the AGI Academy. After six months of intense TOC training, she came back to the UK with an overwhelming desire to apply TOC to the biggest organisation in Europe, the British National Health Service, and set about achieving this ambitious target. Whilst researching her book she secured a job in a not for profit healthcare organisation and has continued to use her new found skills to make the organisation more successful than she had hoped for. Since then she has also become involved with another not for profit organisation, TOC for Education, and is delighted to be associated with such a caring and generous organisation that is introducing children around the world to the Thinking Tools.
