After an overview of the Theory of
Constraints (TOC) and the types of
constraints that exist in any
organization, the reader is led through
the step-by-step process of the two
foundational thinking methods on which
the Thinking Processes are based.
The
reader can then use the book as a field
guide, learning the five processes as
needed, based on his or her own
particular issues.
"Explaining the Thinking Processes
accurately in writing is a very
challenging task.
To choose examples
that make this technical subject alive to
a broad spectrum of people is even
more difficult.
In this book Lisa
succeeds in these two daunting tasks.
She actually succeeds in doing it in a
particularly enticing style. My hat’s off
to her. I’m recommending this book to
anyone who wants to learn more about
the Thinking Processes. I even
recommend it to veteran ‘Jonahs.’"
--Eliyahu M. Goldratt
"Thinking for a Change is a book that
provides the detailed tutoring required
to learn TOC tools and can be
simultaneously used as a reference by
the experts. A well-written,
easy-to-understand book with real-life
examples to which everyone can relate!
A must for anyone facing change and
new frontiers. You will refer to this
book often."
