Join us on May 1st & May 2nd! Join James F. Coxx III and Victoria Mabin for an insightful webinar focused on improving community healthcare supply chains. It focuses on independent medical practices, each a small business, probably having less than 30 employees and probably little ability to pay and no knowledge of TOC. However, some concepts are applicable in more complex environments. One estimate suggests that over 70% of emergency department patients would not have gone to the emergency department if they had seen a primary care provider in a timely manner. The cost of an ED visit versus a primary care visit is 12 to 1. We believe in a given community, the implementation of TOC across local medical practices could have a significant impact on patient/community health..

Please join us on May 1st or May 2nd! This LIVE Webinar will have two sessions, the first session will take place May 1st from 5:00 PM through 7:00 PM EDT (New York USA) the second session will take place on May 2nd  from 10:00 AM through 12:00 PM EDT (New York USA) and both include 60 minutes of presentation time and up to 60 minutes of discussion.

Squaring the Circle: Resolving Persistent Conflicts in Critical Chain Practice https://www.tocico.org/events/EventDetails.aspx?id=1829260 https://www.tocico.org/events/EventDetails.aspx?id=1829260

 

Join us on May 22! Critical Chain experts sometimes make significantly different recommendations regarding what’s important in implementing. These recommendations can appear to be in conflict. For example, how should we incorporate:

  • The Projects Strategy and Tactics tree
  • Virtual drums
  • Detailed resource data
  • Detailed task data
  • Task- and project-level variation
  • Fever charts
In this webinar, Rob Newbold will explore these issues and why there are different ways of addressing them.

Please join us on May 22! This LIVE Webinar is from 10:00 AM through 12:00 PM EDT (New York USA) and includes 60 minutes of presentation time and up to 60 minutes of discussion.

He will share several examples of creative problem-solving by combining ChatGPT, an advanced large language model by OpenAI, with the Theory of Constraints (TOC) Thinking Processes, TRIZ inventive principles, and rapid approaches to evaporating cloud formulation. He will discuss both the current limitations and the risks of exponentially improving artificial intelligence, and how the win-win ethics of the Theory of Constraints might help mitigate doomsday scenarios implied by AI eclipsing human intelligence.

Please join us on July 24! This LIVE Webinar is from 10:00 AM through 12:00 PM EDT (New York USA) and includes 60 minutes of presentation time and up to 60 minutes of discussion.
