TOCICO Innovation Summit 2026
Manchester, UK | September 2–4
The TOC Innovation Summit brings together people learning, applying, and advancing the Theory of Constraints — across industries, environments, and levels of maturity. This year’s program is designed to focus on the application and practice of the Theory of Constraints.
As a result, submissions should meaningfully contribute to the conversation around why change matters, what needs to change, or how change is carried out and sustained using TOC. The intent of the program is to advance understanding and practice of TOC across industries and levels of maturity.
WHO SHOULD SUBMIT
We welcome proposals from TOC practitioners, TOC thought leaders, educators, and experienced contributors who are actively applying or teaching TOC in real organizational environments. Both new and seasoned voices are encouraged.
Session Types & Expectations
All session submissions must clearly align to one or more of the program lenses:
Why change matters | What needs to change | How change is carried out and sustained
Practitioner Case Studies / Success Stories
Case study submissions should clearly show why change was needed, what was changed, and how TOC was applied.
Submissions should describe:
-
The problem or challenge faced
-
The TOC-based solution applied
-
How the solution was implemented or delivered
-
The results achieved
Practitioner-led presentations are strongly encouraged. Consultants are welcome to co-present alongside their clients.
Tools, Methods, or Thinking Process Sessions
These sessions focus on a specific TOC concept, method, or logic-based approach.
Submissions should:
-
Explain why the tool or method is needed (the problem or opportunity it addresses)
-
Walk through what the method or logic is
-
Show how it has been applied in practice

Highly interactive sessions that guide participants through the use or implementation of a TOC tool, logic stream, or decision framework.
