THROUGHPUT PARADIGMS FOR BUSINESS TRANSFORMATION
DO'S AND DON'TS TO IMPROVE COMPANY PERFORMANCE
THE X-FACTOR
There are companies that, more than others, demonstrate the ability to achieve extraordinary results consistently.
What differentiates them?
"The secret to elevating an organization's performance is the ability to distinguish WHAT TO DO and WHAT NOT TO DO
systematically." (E. Strada)
Helping organizations make this journey is the mission of THINKING SOLUTIONS.

ACTION OR INERTIA ARE INFLUENCED BY PARADIGMS
We lead the change inspired by the Throughput and Theory of Constraints.
We apply improvement methodologies, tools, and technologies where they matter.
"The Earth is at the center of the celestial spheres, the universe has a spherical shape and ends with the seventh heaven, that of the fixed stars, made of incorruptible quintessence and excellent quality. Beyond the fixed stars, there is nothing, not even space."
- Aristotle
THE ROLE OF PARADIGMS
Paradigms are underlying assumptions and beliefs that are part of the corporate culture. They are consolidated by the practices and rituals typical of the industry, explicit or implicit, written or not.
They play an essential role in any business transformation or innovation. They are often the root cause of successes or failures as they influence people's behavior.

Business Innovation: the TOC way
INNOVATION IS NOT JUST THE FRUIT OF A RANDOM ACT OF GENIUS
INNOVATION AND VALUE
"Value is created by removing a significant limitation for the customer, in a way that was not possible before, and to the extent that no significant competitor can deliver."
- Dr. E. Goldratt
TOC BUSINESS INNOVATION
Over time, markets become saturated, and products mature. We begin to compete only on the price and features of the products by constantly reacting to the competition.
The actions we take to survive in this "Red Ocean" (promotions, aggressive promises, poor protective capacity...) destroy profits leaving us where we are.
Find out how to get out of this spiral by applying a rigorous process for business innovation.
