About the blog
Usually, entrepreneurs don’t have time to read thick books or listen to long lectures because they spend their entire day “saving” their business. That’s why we want answers to our questions here and now. If that doesn’t happen, we continue working as “firefighters” for our company’s problems, often without even realizing that today’s battle only slightly subdued the flames, and tomorrow the fire may grow even stronger elsewhere.
We don’t even have time to think about the root causes of our problems and how to solve them once and for a long time. These are exactly the kind of issues that TOC tackles.
Knowing that I am one of the few TOC specialists in Latvia, my colleagues, acquaintances, and entrepreneurs I meet at various events ask me practical questions about business management. Some of them are very deep and professional, while others seem simple but remain unclear.
To help at least a few entrepreneurs discover the incredible opportunities TOC offers—and to do so without requiring much of their time—I have decided to start publishing a dialogue about TOC. I will write it in parts so that reading each new section doesn’t take much time and can be completed in about ten minutes.
The dialogue will be based on various questions, with answers grounded in TOC knowledge. At first, it will be a discussion about the fundamentals of TOC, but how the conversation develops depends on you, the reader! Feel free to ask questions about what you have read, what you want to understand, or what you disagree with, because moving forward, we may use conclusions from previous discussions as a foundation for future dialogues.
