THE IDEA of Constraints (TOC) continues to be successfully applied in nearly every area of human endeavor, from industry to healthcare to education. And while Eli Goldratt is indeed a scientist, an educator and a company leader, he is first and foremost a philosopher; some state a genius.

He’s a thinker who provokes others to accomplish the same. Often characterized as unconventional, and often rousing a slayer of sacred cows Dr. Goldratt exhorts his readers to examine and reassess their lives and business practices by cultivating a different perspective and a clear new vision.

In his most recent book, THE DECISION, Goldratt once again presents his thought provoking approach, this time around through a conversation with his daughter Efrat, as he explains to her his fundamental system of beliefs.
