Eli Schragenheim & Bill Dettmer - Supply Chain Management at Warp Speed: Integrating the System from End to End

Fri, 10 Apr 2009 17:33:00 GMT

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

Israel Gat - The Agile Executive

Mon, 23 Mar 2009 16:24:00 GMT

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. You can read more about Israel, including links I mention in the podcast, here: http://www.agilethinkers.com/israel_gat_bmc/

TOCThinker Tony Rizzo on making more money from projects

Wed, 16 Jul 2008 17:43:00 GMT

I interviewed - the extraordinary - Tony Rizzo last week about his decades work with Critical Chain and project management in product development organisations. Tony has been around from the early days. I've learned a lot from him over the years and you will too if you listen to this 45 minute podcast - the first of three.

Here's the mp3 file: http://media.libsyn.com/media/clarkeching/rec_tocguy_09_Jul_2008_14_53_29.MP3

Alex Knight on Theory of Constraints for Healthcare.

Fri, 6 Jun 2008 13:42:00 GMT

[Note: this is not an Agile podcast]
Late last year I recorded a 25 minute interview with Alex Knight about TOC in healthcare.

Alex knows his stuff having worked very closely with Eli Goldratt over the years. You can read his one-pager here, you can find his website here.

I saw Alex present a session on TOC in healthcare about a year ago and it was one of the most entertaining and convincing presentations - on any subject - that I've ever seen.

EverydayAgile - Kevin Rutherford - an XP blitz

Fri, 23 May 2008 14:52:00 GMT

Kevin Rutherford tells me about a recent coaching engagement where he helped a small - everyday - team which had recently adopted Scrum, to adopt more XP practices. It's a simple story which demonstrates how it is easy - although intense - to get better. I'm impressed.

Rolling Rocks Downhill - the podcast series - chapter 2

Mon, 19 May 2008 17:58:00 GMT

Chapter 2 ... Forgive the preamble. It'll get less verbose as I get this stuff out of system.

2 chapters down ... 48 to go

Rolling Rocks Downhill - the podcast series - chapter 1

Mon, 19 May 2008 17:42:00 GMT

The book will be out later this year (I hope) on real paper thanks to the Pragmatic Programmers.

But in the meantime, I am about to restart my 1-chapter-at-a-time podcast of the book.

I warn you, it'll be rough - I may have a face made for radio, but my voice ... well download and listen.

I'm going to put out 3 chapters initially, then 1 a week until I've read the entire book from start to finish. That'll probably take a year ... or so.

I confess: this is the crappy, pre-professional-editing version, but it's free and it's useful, and you can listen to it rather than read it. Oh, and from now on, it is the only free version available.

TOCThinker Eli Schragenheim - part 2

update of nancy v's talk

Mon, 28 Jan 2008 08:40:00 GMT

The sound quality of Nancy's section of the last nakedagilists podcast, um, sucked.

We re-recorded it over the weekend and I've published it seperately.

Naked Agilists January 08 - part 2

Tue, 22 Jan 2008 10:44:00 GMT

Here's the second part of the Naked Agilists conversation on January the 19th, 2008.

Naked Agilists January 08 - part 1

Tue, 22 Jan 2008 10:37:00 GMT

Here's the first 15 minutes of the Naked Agilists conversation on January the 19th, 2008.

The session was organised by Kevin Rutherford and chaired by Clarke Ching (me).

The agenda:
    * Servant Leaders -- Nancy van Schooenderwoert
    * wevouchfor.org -- Laurent Bossavit
    * Fit4Data -- Adrian Mowat
    * Shared data for unit tests -- Paul Wilson
    * Let them Eat Cake -- Brian Marick

You can find out more information - including slides - at http://www.nakedagilists.com/jan-08.

Why 2 parts? I put my skype session on hold by accident for about 10 seconds and my recording software stopped recording. Apologies to Nancy for the lost 10 seconds.

Also, Nancy's session is a little hard to hear, but the following sessions are much easier. We'll try to do better in future!

TOC in healthcare: Andrew Kent

Thu, 12 Jul 2007 21:44:00 GMT

IÃïïve spent a fascinating 70 minutes this evening chatting with Andrew Kent about his work using GoldrattÃïïs and DemingÃïïs work in healthcare here in the UK.

This might sound implausible ÃïÂ but Andrew makes statistical process control sound interesting and relevant. He also gives a lovely example of SPC during our chat Ãïï using SPC to make a better cup of tea - and he discusses TOC in a way I've not heard before. Very clever chap.

You can find an example of one of Andrew's SPC charts on my blog:

How to build a house in < 4 hours - Clarke Ching chats to TOC expert John Parr

clarkeching — Wed, 4 Jul 2007 21:53:00 GMT

I've just spent an hour or so on skype this evening chatting with Theory of Constraints expert John Parr. John used Goldratt's Critical Chain project management approach to plan and execute the building of a real habitable 4 bedroom house in less than 4 hours. It is a fascinating story.

Here's a link to the podcast:

John's website: www.businessflow.com.au
John's email: john@businessflow.co.nz

More details on the house build project: http://www.goldratt.co.uk/succ/habitat.htm

[btw: I recorded the conversation using skype and pamela recorder. I then converted it to mp3 using audacity. But it sounds a bit feeble in places. Any hints?]
