Use the Theory of Constraints to de-bottleneck what’s possible. ![]() Use your Moon Shots to expand your thinking to 10X your impact. Finding the bottleneck can reveal amazing opportunities for transforming your process, and transforming your business. ![]() While it sounds obvious in retrospect, it’s not always obvious to ask the question, “Where’s the bottleneck?”, and to dig for it deeply. Once we identified this as the single biggest bottleneck holding our group back, we realized that what we needed to do was to hire more technical writers to put more of the ideas down on paper. The problem was that these master minds were good at sharing their ideas verbally, but not at writing them down. The bottleneck was literally writing down the ideas that spewed freely from the master minds. However, the ideas were no good, unless they were turned into writing. I was on a team where there were several smart people that had a bunch of brilliant ideas that they could talk about all day. Identifying the Bottleneck Helps You Eliminate the Bottleneck There’s usually something specific that you need to do, that’s below surface level. What you’ll often find is that it’s not just money, or time, or people, or skills. For example, if money were not an issue, how many widgets could you produce in a single day? Or, with the current process, what’s the most anybody has ever produced in the world, using the same process? ![]() You can test what you think the constraint is, by asking some questions. Is it time? … Is it money? … Is it people? … Is it technique? What’s your weakest link, when it comes to achieving your big, audacious goal? In other words, what’s the biggest bottleneck that limits you? It’s the Theory of Constraints (TOC.) The big idea behind the Theory of Constraints, is that a chain is only as strong as its weakest link. Of course, as soon as you figure out your Moon Shot, the next question might be, “What stops you?” or “How can you reach your Moon Shot?” Photo by Antonio Picascia Where’s the Bottleneck? ![]()
