Dr. Alan Barnard on Solving the Right Problems with the Theory Of Constraints

In this episode, Keith Norris sits down with Dr. Alan Barnard—decision scientist, CEO of Goldratt Research Labs, and one of the world’s leading experts on the Theory of Constraints—to explore how organizations can solve the right problems, not just the most obvious ones. Drawing on decades of research, consulting, and direct work with Dr. Eli Goldratt, Alan shares practical insights into how TOC helps companies focus their improvement efforts where it matters most.

🔻 Why most systems fail by solving the wrong problems first

🔻 How the Theory of Constraints reveals the real bottleneck blocking progress

🔻 The five types of constraints every system must manage

🔻 Why “focus” beats “fix everything” in continuous improvement

🔻 How to apply TOC principles to flow, decision-making, and strategy

🔻 Why finding the constraint is the first step to making better, faster decisions

Whether you're leading improvement initiatives, scaling a business, or simply trying to move faster without chaos, this episode delivers a practical, thought-provoking framework for solving the right problems—and unlocking exponential impact.
