I smile and start to count on my fingers, "One, people are good. Two, every conflict can be removed. Three, every situation, no matter how complex it initially looks, is exceedingly simple. Four, every situation can be substantially improved; even the sky is not the limit. Five, every person can reach a full life. Six, there is always a win-win solution. Shall I continue to count?“ Dr. Eliyahu Goldratt, The Choice

Internationally recognized leader in the development of new business management philosophies and systems, Dr. Eliyahu M. Goldratt’s work is carried out by consultants and educators around the world, and utilized by many of the world’s largest corporations, including IBM, Procter & Gamble, AT&T, NV Philips, ABB and Boeing. Unconventional, stimulating, and “a slayer of sacred cows,” Dr. Goldratt exhorts his audience to examine and reassess their business practices with a fresh, new vision.

THE GOAL, his best-selling business textbook written in novel form, illustrates Dr. Goldratt’s Theory of Constraints (TOC), an overall framework for helping businesses determine: what to change —not everything is broken, what to change to —what are the simple, practical solutions, and how to cause the change — overcoming the inherent resistance to change.

Dr. Goldratt has written numerous books on related topics, including IT’S NOT LUCK and CRITICAL CHAIN. His latest book, THE CHOICE, rapidly became the #1 bestseller in Japan. Dr. Goldratt is a contributor to scientific journals, magazines and business publications.

Dr. Goldratt is founder and chairman of the Goldratt Group (Goldratt Schools, Goldratt Marketing and Goldratt Consulting), which has taken the Theory of Constraints practices to new heights with VIABLE VISION, a platform to improve business productivity and profitability.
