Solving the Measurement Nightmare
Instructor: Debra Smith,

"This course was excellent! This was exactly what I was dreaming
about on TOC with the added bonus of the Thinking Processes. If this
course doesn’t get you excited about TOC, nothing will!"
– Donald Pomeroy, Vice President of Finance, Stemco, Inc.

between what is required for internal and external reporting and
proper operational decisions utilizing TOC methodologies.
