- Measure the system
Measure first
Every stage gets a number. Without that, a constraint is an opinion.
One system
Every business is one. Measure it, find the constraint, fix it, then measure again.
Growth stalls at one point, not everywhere. Find that point and fix it, and the whole system moves. Fix anything else and nothing changes.
How It Works
Four moves in order
- Find the constraint
One thing holds it back
It’s rarely where the pain is felt. We trace the numbers back to the one stage that limits all the others.
- Fix the constraint
Fix only that
Then the whole system moves, not one channel. Effort goes where it changes the result, and nowhere else.
- Measure again
Then run it again
The next constraint appears. That’s the point: the system keeps finding its next limit, and we keep moving it.
