About this Presentation
TOC solutions require people to go through paradigm shifts. Paradigm shifts are extremely challenging to adopt, to implement and to sustain as they require people to give up on their intuition and past experience and mostly to trust that the change agent can safely take them from the existing paradigm to the new one. The natural people turnover in organizations further enhance this challenge. What if it was possible to shift people paradigms without taking them through a paradigm shift, but rather through a series of changes that they have high level of certainty are required, that they chose based on their existing experience and intuition, that everyone relevant in the organization believes that the change is required and correct and that after a number of such changes the paradigm practically shifted? In this workshop we will examine the possibility of having such a process, how to apply it to different levels of the company and demonstrate how using it in production unavoidably leads from existing paradigm to the DBR paradigm.
