About
TOC offers a bold promise to leadership teams: it will help them FOCUS on what matters most. It tells us to focus on the Constraint. But real-world systems are messy—there are many goals, many constraints, many problems, many conflicts, and many possible solutions. So how do we find and focus on the next ONE Thing?

This session introduces the ONE THING Focusing Cycle, a simple yet powerful way to cut through complexity. By combining Dr. Goldratt’s 5 Focusing Steps with his ProConCloud method, this step-by-step method helps teams and individuals identify and resolve the next 1 Goal, 1 Constraint, 1 Problem, 1 Conflict, 1 Innovation, and 1 Experiment to focus on.

If you’re ready to move faster with more clarity and less overwhelm, this session is your next best step.
