What Does It Mean, That Everything is Connected?
It sounds like the holy grail: You “just” need to know some basic laws and you’ll get a factor two or three out of your business. Such an increase for example in revenue can easily be realized. But to realize it, you just need to find the leverage point. The leverage point of any system is its constraint. Next to the fact that every system has its constraint, it doesn’t hurt to know another law: the connection of lead time (of an item), work in process and throughput. I bet you’re curious now and maybe a little bit suspicious. “It sounds too good to be true” I hear you say! And you know what? I don’t blame you.
If something sounds too good to be true we think “it’s a scheme”! They don’t have proof for sure. Well on my quest to find that proof and I have interviewed?Vincent van der Lubbe, one of the newest core members of?BlueDolphin powered by ChangeBase. BlueDolphin is a network based on the Theory of Constraints (TOC; Eliyahu M. Goldratt) and Self-Organization (Haken & Schiepek). I’ve cut the interview in small chunks and I hope you’ll learn as much as I did.
You'll find a small summary and the link to the original post.
If you're asking yourself why I am connected to BlueDolphin and what BlueDolphin has to do with?#BringLoveToBusiness, I like to explain with the following picture:
To get free capacity, to get free thoughts and hearts, a good flow management should be in place. Only then the company will really be able to transform. So for me BlueDolphin helps to build the sound foundation that will hold the house I want to build.
Here are the parts of the interview:
1: Who is Vincent and how can you profit from his experience?
The new core dolphin Vincent introduces himself. He shares his experience and that there is a lot of suffering in companies. Do you wonder how that suffering can be reduced?
2: How can Systems Thinking and Theory of Constraints help you and your business?
Once you've realized that everything is more and more connected nowadays, you can stop looking for cause and effect relations everywhere.

3: How you can understand TOC easily
What's the most effective point to work with to get more flow?
4: How TOC helpes you by gaining focus
Do you have only limited time and still so much to do? Do you want help with that? A help that doesn't force you to learn a whole framework? Something that is fast and easy (and, as we've seen in the previous video, even is fun)?
5: Why all is about people and how that insight can help you
It's all about the people. What midset is crucial to understand that? What part do emotions play?
6: What the benefits of the BlueDolphin network are and how we can help you
Everyone is different but we all have the same idea on how to improve things.
7: Why this combination of self-organization and TOC is so powerful
Any complex system is based on self-organization. It's based on promises.
