I've just spent the last 60 minutes talking with Eli Goldratt about his fantastic new book, "Isn't it Obvious". Now that I understand what the book was *really* about ... I'm off to read it again.

And part 2! 

Hi everyone, I've just completed a fascinating interview with two of the TOC Worlds most brilliant and innovative thinkers. Bill Dettmer and Eli Schragenheim.

Although the focus of the interview is on their new book "Supply Chain Management at Warp Speed" we also wander off into some other fascinating areas. They've got some great book recommendations between them, for example. Plus they talk about their next publishing efforts. Oh, and Bill mentions the key reason why you'd want to buy the book - it's the first public viewing of the TOC solution to ************** (you'll have to listen to find out). I can't tell you how pleasurable this session was for me - to chat with two of my heroes.

You can order the book here: http://www.amazon.com/Supply-Chain-Management-Warp-Speed/dp/1420073354/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1239384783&sr=1-2

I've just spent a fascinating hour speaking with Israel Gat. I admire Israel - he cares about people AND he wants to build good, commercially viable software. But more than that: he speaks the language of the IT and business executive.
