About
Governments everywhere struggle to balance competing demands—efficiency vs. equity, control vs. freedom, centralization vs. local autonomy. These chronic conflicts often consume resources, erode trust, and block progress toward the greater good. In this webinar, members of the TOC Government Special Interest Group explore how the Thinking Processes of the Theory of Constraints (TOC) can help leaders rise above politics to understand and address these persistent dilemmas. By classifying and analyzing real-world governmental conflicts through TOC lenses such as Evaporating Clouds and POOGI, the session reveals practical ways to untie governance knots and move closer to the true goal: improving quality of life, now and in the future.
