This Focused Performance Weblog is a "business management blog" containing links and commentary related primarily to organizational effectiveness with a "Theory of Constraints" perspective. TOC is noted for its applications in Project Management and Multi-Project Management (Critical Chain) and Operations Management (Drum-Buffer-Rope), as well as in Marketing, Strategic Planning and Change Management (TOC Thinking Processes). If you are on an archive page, current postings are found here.
"Individual measurement doesn't generally do anything to improve the throughput of the enterprise. The enterprise must learn how to improve overall. This includes improving how individual work, yes, but only in context of what that means for the whole."
The links of a chain can't accomplish much on their own, other than as paperweights. It's the whole chain that pulls the weight. If measured and rewarded as a group, then the team will be incented to do the right things for success, as individuals working together.
