About this Presentation
This presentation charts possible courses to capitalize on record sums of public and private funds seeking better than normal returns with lower than normal risk. The people responsible for investing these funds are diligently seeking good stories. The plot of this story reveals needed skill sets beyond the TOC body of knowledge and we share how to tell it. The presentation objective is to be a catalyst to spread TOC, through a process: Buy conventional companies. Make the companies much more profitable using TOC. Sell them for a big profit, thereby converting investors and employees who want to repeat the process. Several points are covered in the presentation including: a way to pull TOC rather than pushing; sample structures of investment; sources for attracting and raising both equity and debt; finding a proper acquisition target; TOC implementation prerequisites; skill sets; transition of purpose – introduction of the strategy and tactics (S&T) tree (budget, expectations); rationale for quick sale; raising interest from and generating competition between potential buyers; exiting the investment; and reinvesting on a bigger scale. Benefits include: a better understanding of deal making; exposure to a way to make money using TOC; and creation of opportunities for TOC experts by generating more and more TOC companies.
