TLT is a software tool for designed to improve the
practice of the “Thinking
Process Tools” (TPT) of the Theory of Constraints (TOC). TLT software can
implement the Thinking Processes as taught by a variety of schools of thought
all derived from the original work of Eliyahu Goldratt. So, in
presenting the benefits of TLT, we are talking about the benefits of embracing
the TOC Thinking Process Tools and using the Transformation LogicTree software
to practice it.
You
would benefit if …Transformation LogicTree
Features
(1) You want a comprehensive,
common-sense based approach to dealing with problems and conflicts. This
methodology empowers people to understand the root causes of problems, to build powerful solutions, and to communicate them.
(2)
You seek a method to combine proven problem solving concepts with a software tool
that boosts productivity and problem-solving
power that makes it easy to develop, lay out, print, and present your solution.
(3)
You want to do “Root Cause Analysis” and
solve the root problem(s).
(4)
You are a “Jonah” or are familiar with E. Goldratt’s Thinking Process
Tools and the Theory of Constraints (TOC)
Merits
and Characteristics of Goldratt's Thinking Process Tools (TPT) and the Transformation LogicTree (TLT) approach:
(1)
It is well tested and designed to be effective in real-world conflict
resolution and problem-solving. This isn’t something invented in an ivory
tower – these ideas and the methodology has been shaped by the real-world
experience of many people’s application experiences with the method and the
intellectual input of many contributors (foremost among them, E. Goldratt who created
the foundations of the methodology and expounded some of the basic concepts in his book
It’s Not Luck).
(2)
It is based on a powerful approach to root cause analysis and a
thoughtful analysis of the business/process dynamics.
(3)
It is graphically-oriented and designed as a process that facilitates
group-based problem analysis and problem solving.
(4)
The structure of the toolset and its expression through the software greatly extends your attention
span, broadens your perspective, and deepens the rigor of your
thinking.
(5)
The TLT software enhances speed and
power. The software will help you learn the method, and also extend and enhance
your problem-solving success in the real world. The software will make it so
much easier to “work the process” and thereby gain acceptance
of this approach in your organization. Given the complexity of really
understanding a problem and a proposed solution, most people settle for simple approaches and shallow conceptual models.
It’s like trying to play chess, but being able to think only one move ahead.
This tool helps extend your mind, your memory, and your ability to look across
more options and look multiple moves ahead.
(6)
It structures your analysis and solutions using graphical
diagrams and plain English to support precise and effective communication
of the material to any audience.
(7)
The methodology incorporates elements specifically designed to win
buy-in from key decision-makers and stakeholders
(8)
TPT and the Transformation methodology are extremely general and applies to a
vast range of problems. It can solve problems in areas such as
operations and the supply chain, quality, marketing, finance, management,
entrepreneurial ventures, and even politics and personal issues. The approach
is based on logic and intuition, making it adaptable to almost any problem.
This generality can be a good surprise for those trained “narrowly” to solve technical
problems. The TLT methodology is not going to solve the problem without you
having to think, but it will improve the quality of your thinking and can greatly
increase your degree of success.
