Running Lean The current TOC achievements in handling uncertainty | Eli Schragenheim TOC has always been focused on the common and expected uncertainty. It just did not generalize in full the global ramifications of its tools to handle uncertainty. In this post I like to highlight the wider impact that stem from DBR, CCPM and Replenishment. The critical TOC terminologies that are a key in handling common and expected uncertainty are: BuffersBuffer ManagementProtective capacityThin and focused planning Buffers: The concept of inserting visible buffers as anintegral part of the plan is, for me, a landmark in managing uncertainty and by “managing” I mean also the behavioral side. The visible use of buffers in the planning raises several issues that planners have to consider: What to buffer?

The Pre-Mortem: A Simple Technique To Save Any Project From Failure Fellow Riskologist, An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Any doctor will tell you that. And so will any sick patient. So, why is it that age-old wisdom like this is rarely practiced? Few people exercise and eat right before they realize their health is failing.You rarely see anyone keep up their car before it breaks down.No one replaces their roof until water’s dripping on their head. What’s baffling about these problems is they rarely come out of the blue. You can feel yourself slowly getting out of shape.You know if you never change your oil, your car is going to die.Every day you come home and, for a split second, notice the sagging in the roof before moving on to more pressing matters.

With this book, Organization Culture and Leadership (4th Edition), the author has published a summary of his life long experience (born in 1928, PhD in Harvard of Social Psychology in 1952) of organizations.

As usual for #hypertextual classic book reviews, this is more of a summary of the main ideas than a proper review. Culture : definitions
