Lunch With The Experts
A special
opportunity to learn about different implementation experiences from
industry experts.
1. How
to leverage the power of TOC for very large scale collaboration
Dr. Shailesh Sood, Director,
Speed to Market
TOC for Project
Management is more than just a neat scheduling and prioritization
technique- it is the missing link in enabling true collaboration in
the today's Networked Enterprise. Virtual team
environments-characterized by distributed management and decision
making-can exploit this facet of TOC.
2. TOC based
metrics for product development
Dr. Ajai
Kapoor, VP of Product Management,
Speed to Market
Excellence in product
development depends upon on seamless collaboration among team
members, and metrics based on individual performance are
counterproductive. At the same time, knowledge workers have a high
sense of individuality and want to know how they are individually
contributing to overall goals. How does one reconcile these
conflicting requirements? Presenter will address this issue in a TOC
framework.
3. Implementing
Critical Chain – Managing Uncertainty
Bill
Lynch, President and COO of
ProChain Solutions
How do you
successfully implement a broad change like Critical Chain in an
organization? A big part is being able to deal with the uncertainty
inherent in paradigm shifts as well as being able to plan, set
priorities, and execute the implementation effectively. This
discussion will focus on the integration of concepts, tools,
processes and people as the key to success.
4. Critical Chain
- a Key Component in a High Performance Workplace
Roger
Meade, CEO, Scitor Corporation
Roger Meade, CEO of Scitor
Corporation, will discuss the positive effects of implementing
Critical Chain methods in the workplace. By making friends with
uncertainty and changing the way people are measured, you will
discover the dual benefits of faster time-to-market and greatly
improved team morale. Roger will relate how Critical Chain
concepts had a dramatic effect on product development times at
Scitor and how the concepts enhanced Scitor's high performance
workplace (recognized by Fortune Magazine as one of the "Top 100
Companies to Work For").
