About this Presentation
This presentation was given Lisa Scheinkopf. This presentation is the second day of Goldratt’s two days of teaching new TOC developments. Lisa Scheinkopf is presenting Goldratt’s materials. She introduces the history of the red curve and green curve. From 1990 till 2000 the red curve represented ongoing improvement (exponential growth) and the green curve represented stagnation. Around 2007 Goldratt redefined the red curve as growth and the green curve as stability. The ever-flourishing company should have both. In May 2011 Goldratt redefined the red curve green curve concept with the assumption that the bigger (the stronger) the base, the higher the jump; the green curve is the base and represents harmony (communication, collaboration, people’s personal and professional growth, etc.) which causes the base to be bigger and stronger for the growth of the red curve to take place. The Standing on the Shoulders of Giants (SOSG) process is used. TOC can provide significant contributions to this area of stability and harmony. The engines of disharmony and harmony are discussed. The cloud of being a good manager and management attention is provided. The solution is to equip everyone in the organization to better evaluate and communicate needed changes. The four views of change are described as the mermaid, the crutches, the pot of goal and the alligator. Turning inertia and the engines of disharmony to the engines of harmony is discussed and an exercise is provided. The organization strategy and tactics (S&T) tree is described as playing a major role in moving to the engines of harmony. The SOSG process is used to attack the people aspect of organizations.
