Unlocking Fortune 500 Efficiency: Conquering Backlog, Optimizing Workflow, and Overcoming Multitasking No one is more familiar with the world of business constraints than Dr. Alan Barnard. By optimizing companies like Nike, ABB, Cisco, and Intel, Dr. Alan BArnard of Goldratt Research Labs has become one of the world's leading decision scientists and theory of constraints experts. His accolades speak for themselves as one of the world's leading decision scientists and theory of constraints experts. If you're familiar with ‘The Goal', an optimizer's bible, then you will know Dr. Barnard was the powerhouse behind Goldratt Research Labs, and partner of the late Eli Goldratt, the mind behind that groundbreaking book.  In this episode, he unveils a framework that promises to revolutionize the way we approach constraints in business and beyond. Whether you're aiming to streamline workflow, eliminate backlog, or master the art of multitasking, Dr. Barnard's insights are not to be missed. Episode Highlights:  Dr. Barnard presents mathematical proof of how multitasking significantly drains productivity, shedding light on why it defies intuition. He unveils his method for persuading the mind to tackle tasks that appear daunting or impossible. Eugene and Alan go through several examples and thought experiments to relate his concepts to the vision industry  

In this conversation with @DrAlanBarnard, we explore how the principles of the Theory of Constraints (originally created by Dr. Eliyahu Goldratt) can be used to not only drive significant business results but also to help us make high stake decisions as leaders. In this freewheeling conversation, we explore Dr Barnard's story about how he met with Dr. Goldratt and his famous motto. We explore who is a true expert He shares how he got into an argument with Dr. Goldratt and how he then formed a life long connection with Dr. Goldratt. He shares his most important lessons from all his interaction with Dr. Goldratt What is a Life Goal? The definition of a Life goal is a "Dream taken seriously - Dr. Eliyahu Goldratt I will not sacrifice my goal for anyone and I will not sacrifice anyone for my goal Dr. Eliyahu Goldratt He also introduces the concept of Theory of Constraint then, shares what is a constraint and the different kinds of constraints that we might face in any given system (Market/demand (external), Capacity (internal), Supply (external), Cash (Internal), Management Attention (internal) and probably the most crucial in any business. He also shares two ways to improve a constraint and therefore significantly improve your impact. He shares the importance of "Flow" or "Throughput" in any given system and how "Flow" is two-dimensional. He also shared the importance of understanding and increasing flow (time and velocity). He also shares different Ways to improve any given system. He also shares the story of how Tata Steel UK went from 1 Million Pound loss per day to 1 Million pound profit per day using Theory of constraints We constantly see good people make bad decisions. He explains why this happens and how to avoid them. He talks about what he calls as the agency equation. We then move into the realm of individuals and he shares how to identify what constrains our belief systems? Really? The power of questions - Really or unless. He also shares insights about how our minds work? He talks about the importance of learning prompt engineering to engage not just chatGPT but ourselves as well. He also shares insight on how to ask good questions as a leader and the 2 steps to make a breakthrough in any field. He also shares insight on how to measure people's performance and its impact on the business. Dr. Goldratt had started a movement called "Viable Vision". He shares more information about this viable vision and how can one go about achieving the same in their business. We then understand his own learning process and the key people he learns from - Herbert Simon and Nassim Nicholas Taleb. What is so obvious to him that all of us miss? We don't usually learn from experience but from Experiments Dr. Alan Barnard In Summary: We need to remember the 4F's - Flow, Focus, Finish and Fast Feedback to become influential and impactful leaders.

Jeff Heggie Daily Success Strategies 750: The Power of Impossible Goals for 10X Growth 10X is Easier Thank 2x: Preorder for May 9 here https://amzn.to/3YTq7KQ In this episode, we explore the concept of setting impossible goals and how it can help entrepreneurs and business owners to unlock new levels of growth and success. By pushing the boundaries of what's possible, we can break free from limiting assumptions and open ourselves up to new ideas and strategies that can drive exponential growth. Join us as we learn how to identify the few conditions that have the highest upside, and focus our attention on the path to achieving our 10X goals. At Joe Polish's entrepreneur mastermind group, he asked, “If you wanted to improve your profits by 10%, how would you do it?” Dr. Alan Barnard replied, - There are literally infinite things I could do to grow my profits by 10% - The goal isn't big enough to create focus and specificity - Growing by 10X would be a much better question because almost nothing would work to create 10X growth - Almost nothing you're currently doing now would get you there. - He said, Impossible goals help you identify the few conditions that have the highest possible upside, and are the areas to focus your attention To make a goal effective, you've got to test its outer limits. Push it out as far as you can. Only once you make your goal impossible will you stop operating based on your current assumptions and knowledge. You'll be open to new ideas, and you'll entertain different paths that you've never considered. When you look at an “impossible” goal, Dr Barnard says that you need to ask yourself: - What conditions need to be true to make it a possibility in your mind? - Out of those conditions and strategies are where you should focus… everything else you're doing is just noise With a 10X goal, only a limited number of strategies or paths will work Mindset Questions – The Real Secret to Your Success Get Your Mindset Questions for FREE at www.CoachHeggie.com/MindsetQuestions Get Your Mindset Journal at www.JeffHeggie.com/MindsetJournaland gain FREE access to the Your Future Self Masterclass!

Good people make bad decisions because they have bad assumptions or limiting beliefs. If a leader has an assumption that trusting is bad, then they're bound to make a bad decision because there's no one there to stop them from making that decision. And once that decision is made, the decision-maker will look for any evidence to support that decision. They are tricking their mind to think that they are right. And, that's how businesses crumble to the ground. Join Dr. Patty Ann Tublin as she talks with Dr. Alan Barnard (https://dralanbarnard.com/), entrepreneur, philanthropist, strategy advisor, research scientist, app developer, author, coach, lecturer, podcaster, and lifelong learner.

In this week's pod, we welcomed Dr Alan Barnard to discuss the theory of constraints & decision-making. Dr. Alan Barnard is an entrepreneur, philanthropist, strategy advisor, research scientist, app developer, author, coach, lecturer, podcaster, and lifelong learner. Alan is considered one of the world's leading Decision Scientists and Theory of Constraints experts. Alan is the CEO of Goldratt Research Labs, which he co-founded in 2009 with Dr. Eli Goldratt, author of THE GOAL, creator of Theory of Constraints and Critical Chain Project Management. Dr. Alan's research focuses on understanding why good people make, and often repeat bad decisions, and how best to avoid these. From this research, Alan and his team at Goldratt Research Labs have developed a range of award-winning Decision Support Apps that help organizations and individuals make better faster decisions when it really matters. Their clients include Fortune 500 companies, Government Agencies, and people from over 70 countries that are using their apps to make difficult life and business decisions. The main topics we discussed on the podcast were as follows: There is a massive amount of invisible simplicity on major projects How do you decide on a goal if you do not know what resources will limit you reaching that goal? Many people become successful due to factors outside their control such as luck and good genes, however almost all successful people make good decision and are hard working, which is in their control To create a stable system, have a single constraint that doesn't move Projects are always looking for the inherent but invisible simplicity. Critical path methodology enabled projects to simplify how they represent project delivery, however this usually ignores resource and capacity constraints Many people are better at estimating work durations in big chunks rather than at a lower level / individual task based detail Hard to quantify capacity, availability and capability of resources in a project plan. The easiest thing to track is whether a project is waiting for resource The main planning mistake is to ignore capacity when making commitments and launch too many projects at the same time AI is better suited to production environments where there is repetitive information A key skill of a manager is the ability to keep the team “in flow” Here are links to some of the topics we discussed: Flow Theory: https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/psychology/flow-theory Impossible Unless: https://www.impossibleunless.com/special-copy-registration Project Portfolio Digital Twin: https://www.projectdigitaltwin.com/sale1648625245366 Goldratt Research Labs: www.goldrattresearchlabs.com Harmony Apps: https://harmonyapps.com/ Dr Alan Barnard Website: www.dralanbarnard.com Critical Chain - Eliyahu Goldratt: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Critical-Chain-Business-Eliyahu-Goldratt/dp/0566080389 How to Improve Work Flow in any Environment - keynote by Dr. Alan Barnard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-AkrjO55VBQ&feature=youtu.be Join us next week when we speak to Paul Waskett to discuss Project Controls in design and engineering stages For more information, blogs or to support our charities visit www.projectchatterpodcast.com If you'd like to sponsor the podcast get in touch via our website.

In this week's pod, we welcomed Rita Arrigo to discuss AI in Infrastructure and how it is going to change our cities.As a natural storyteller excited by the opportunities the tech world brings, Rita can translate complex technical ideas across the ‘IT divide' to those less tech-minded, an enthusiastic advocate and sought-after speaker for many years on all thing's innovation and digital.The main topics we discussed on the podcast were as follows: AI, Machine Learning and Spatial Computing are moving at a fast pace Most construction projects are using paper based documents on site despite the prevalence of digital technology There is not enough diversity in engineering which has led to a lack of challenging the status quo which is stifling disruption Digital Twin seeks to connect the past and predict the future AI can be used by governments to help them monitor and achieve COP 26/27 commitments Maturing of toolsets will give us higher capability and reduce the workload CEO's now need to understand the digital technology their company provides rather than simply relying on the technical experts AI will never replace human interactions Blockchain help accelerate investment cycles for companies People always need visualizations – AI will support and enable this Technology will change the way we collect and store information on projects which will make the traditional “filing” system redundant We don't perceive the world, we only see what we perceive Here are links to some of the topics we discussed: Project Hack 17: https://www.projectdataanalytics.co.uk/projecthack/ Click – BBC Tech show: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/n13xtmd5 NeRF Technology: https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/2022/03/25/instant-nerf-research-3d-ai/ Responsible Metaverse Alliance: https://responsiblemetaverse.org/ Quantum Computing: https://www.quantamagazine.org/first-time-crystal-built-using-googles-quantum-computer-20210730/ Checkmate Humanity: https://checkmatehumanity.com/ Atlas of AI: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Atlas-AI-Kate-Crawford/dp/0300209576 Join us in two weeks when we speak to Dr Alan Barnard to discuss the theory of constraints & decision-makingFor more information, blogs or to support our charities visit www.projectchatterpodcast.comIf you'd like to sponsor the podcast get in touch via our website.You can also leave us a voice message via our anchor page and let us know if there's something or someone specific that you would like on the podcast.Proudly sponsored by: JustDo - https://www.justdo.com/ InEight - https://ineight.com/Stay safe, be disruptive and have fun doing it! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/project-chatter-podcast/message

As leaders, much of what we do depends entirely on the quality of our decisions. However, as stress kicks in and our brain gets washed with a tsunami of cortisol, those none reactive decisions become more and more challenging to make. But what if there was a simple and powerful strategy that could show you that the thing you might see as impossible is, unless... Imagine if there was simply an app on your device that could eliminate the overwhelming stress and allow you to tap into the greatest decision-makers in your industry? Could an app help us make faster decisions when it really matters? What if there was a way to tap into the exact constraints to get you to crystal clarity? Could an app help us make faster decisions when it really matters? Well, that's where we're going. Our guest for the next two episodes is Dr. Alan Barnard. Alan is considered one of the world's leading Decision Scientists and Theory of Constraints expert. His research focuses on understanding why good people make and often repeat bad decisions.

Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you. KEY TAKEAWAYS: You can't get flow by doing many things at once. Prioritization just changes the sequence in the queue. It doesn't shorten the queue. The larger the system becomes, the more critical it is to pay attention to synchronization. “Design is perfect, not when you cannot add anything more but when you cannot take anything away''- Antoine De Bourree. Flow means we're all going in the right direction, we all know when our contributions are required, and there's clear incentives and disincentives to discourage local optimization or short term optimization.       RESOURCES MENTIONED: Progress Principle.

This week, Alex Meschi and Jaana Woodbury are joined by speaker, entrepreneur, app developer, author, and CEO of Goldratt Research Labs, Dr. Alan Barnard. From an early age, Dr. Barnard was always fascinated by human decision making. He would wonder what would influence individuals to make the decisions they did and why many good people made bad decisions. He has since dedicated his work to the study of behavioral psychology and decision science to hopefully find an answer to these questions. He discusses with Alex and Jaana the idea of positive/negative responses in accordance with life events and explains why reacting rather than responding to a situation may not render the best results. Additionally, he explains how his research in decision making can also be applied to addiction treatment. He asserts that addicts are good people by nature in that they have identified a problem within themselves or something they are suffering from, but their decision making has simply resulted in them choosing a negative coping mechanism to deal with the root complication. Finally, Dr. Barnard talks about how overcomplicating addiction treatment by adding more and more steps in some instances can ultimately increase failure rates and produce negative results.   You can find Dr. Barnard and his work at the following:   dralanbarnard.com   goldrattresearchlabs.com   YouTube: DrAlanBarnard   Harmony Decision Maker App:   - About   - Get it here!     For more information on the Red Songbird Foundation, please visit:   redsongbird.org   If you are interested in donating to the Red Songbird Foundation, please visit:   redsongbird.org/donate   Follow us on Instagram at: @redsongbirdfoundation     New episode every Thursday!   Check us out on YouTube every Friday! Let The Journey Begin Podcast     Please subscribe, rate, and review!   Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

Today's episode is an interview with special guest Dr. Alan Barnard, one of the leading Decision Scientist and Theory of Constraints (TOC) experts in the world and the CEO of Goldratt Research Labs. Dr. Barnard explains the Theory of Constraint, how to find the weakest link in an organization, and the high-leverage options a business has depending on how they are constrained. In this episode, Dr. Barnard will share the most common mistakes executives make, variable vs. fixed costs, why people get confused about the difference between the two, and a strategy to make your top line your bottom line. You'll learn the problem with unnecessary discounts and hear some real-life examples from Dr. Barnard's world. This talk will go deep on identifying the primary bottleneck in your business that is causing all the others so you can find that one thing to focus on that'll make all the difference. Listen in to hear why the problem isn't that entrepreneurs are too ambitious; it's that their expectations aren't high enough — and learn how you can change that immediately.

Dr. Alan Barnard is one of the world's leading Decision Scientist and Theory of Constraints' experts. Alan, a serial entrepreneur, is the Founder and CEO of Goldratt Research Labs, a company he co-founded in 2008 together with Dr. Eli Goldratt, creator of Theory of Constraints. There was an immediate connection between Alan and Eli after their first meeting in 1993. Alan and Eli were both curious about understanding why good people make and often repeat bad decisions within their life and in managing organizations. They were also both passionate about applying a robust scientific approach to developing new Thinking & Decision making methods and advanced Technologies to help people make better, faster decisions – decisions that move them closer to their goals. Today, Alan works as a Strategy advisor, Researcher and Theory of Constraint (TOC) expert and educator, with both Fortune 500 companies as well as NGO's and Government Agencies. His clients include Microsoft, Cargill, Tata Steel, Nike, ABB, BHP, Cisco, South32, SAP, Intel, Penguin Random House, BC Rail, Larsen & Toubro, Premier Foods, Fujitsu, Habitat for Humanity, UNDP, UNWFP and Utah Governor's Office of Management and Budget. Alan holds a B.Sc. in Industrial Engineering (Cum Laude, 1991) and MsC and PhD in Management of Technology & Innovation (MOTI). His PhD thesis was titled “How to identify and unlock inherent potential within organizations (private & public) and individuals?” Alan is very active in a number of Non-Profit Professional Organizations and Universities within his fields of interest. Alan is the former President of SAPICS (www.sapics.org), and former chairman of TOCICO (www.tocico.org). Alan is also the Chairman of Odyssey Institute (www.tocoydssey.org), a Non-Profit organization he co-founded with Dr. Eli Goldratt in 2005. Alan also serves as board member of BHP's Science and Innovation Council (www.bhp.com) and frequently serves as field supervisor of PhD students and guest lecturer at the DaVinci Institute and Duke University. Dr. Barnard's research over the past 20 years has focused on creating practical decision support methods and apps that can help young and old identify and overcome the limiting beliefs or assumptions that cause usto make and often repeat bad decisions. An example of a simple but powerful technique Dr. Barnard developed to overcome a common self-limiting belief — “It's impossible (to achieve an important goal)” — simply involves asking yourself or them… “It's impossible unless…?” Dr. Alan Barnard and his team at Goldratt Research Labs has developed a series of HARMONY DECISION SUPPORT APPS to provide users easy access to the breakthrough step-by-step decision support methods previously only available to their Fortune 500 clients. Each of these Apps were specifically designed to help individuals and managers apply the latest advances in decision science to avoid common decision mistakes. These include mistakes when making tough decisions, making complex changes or evaluating the likely global impact of local changes on organizations and/or their supply chains. Dr. Alan Barnard is also the creator of the ODYSSEY MASTERCLASS PROGRAM SERIES, offered either as an online or live experiential learning event. These events give individuals and managers the unique opportunity to master the Decision Making, Change Making and Change Simulation skills they NEED to SUCCEED using examples from their own life or organization. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Projects exist within the context and value requirements of their organizations. This episode looks at three angles the organization can (should!) take to get the right projects designed for the strategy set by executives and the organization as a whole. From design, to portfolio management, to identifying where the projects may fail the strategy as they generate and collide with organizational constraints, these guests Charles Black, Steve Butler and Dr. Alan Barnard speak to us from the international community of PMs. What we learn? We need more than a focus on how to manage a project, we need to think how our organizations can lean in to get the right projects doing the right things. Listen in, learn and get a free PDU!
