A Boot Camp for Competitiveness

In today’s business climate, many organizations struggle with declining sales and increasing costs.  Many choose to hunker down and weather the storm, hoping for better results in the future.  However, layoffs and workforce reductions jeopardize future competitiveness.  However, organizations that have implemented the Theory of Constraints continue to thrive and grow in difficult times, continuing to achieve real bottom line growth, whether by improving productivity or increased revenues.  

Since 1985, the Theory of Constraints has been producing startling bottom line results to companies worldwide. An independent study of Theory of Constraints implementations around the world found average results:

Lead Times Reduced 69%
Cycle Times Reduced 66%
Due Date Performance Improved 60%
Inventory Levels Reduced 50%
Revenue / Throughput Increased 68%

In fact, many organizations realize profit improvements over 100% the first year.

We call the course "Global Jonah" because attendees come from all over the world.  More than that, we cover the global issues of the business, from operations, to sales, to finance, to managing people, to marketing; literally, improving the entire business.

These breakthrough tools will be made available to executives in a 9 month workshop series, “The Global Jonah Course”.  This Jonah Training course will teach the Theory of Constraints concepts to managers and executives in an intensive learning experience, a boot camp for competiveness.  Joining other progressive executives, they will not just learning the concepts, but will be learning from others who are implementing them.  The entire year will be a laboratory for organizational improvement.
