This Focused Performance Weblog started life as a "business management blog" containing links and commentary related primarily to organizational effectiveness with a "Theory of Constraints" perspective, but is in the process of evolving towards primary content on interactive and mobile marketing. Think of it as about Focusing marketing messages for enhanced Performance. If you are on an archive page, current postings are found here.

What's in a Name? -- How did I miss this from October? Maybe I was out of touch.
APICS -- The Educational Society for Resource Management is changing its name to APICS -- The Association for Operations Management, and will use a new tag line -- Advancing Productivity, Innovation, and Competitive Success.
APICS was founded in 1957 as the American Production and Inventory Control Society, Inc. In the early 1990s, it adopted the name APICS -- The Educational Society for Resource Management to acknowledge its growing international presence and expanded scope.
APICS is the professional society that has most openly accepted TOC as a part of it's body of knowledge, via its CMSIG -- Constraints Management Special Interest Group.
