If you're charged with rallying employees behind the concepts of quality and continuous improvement, this video will put you well over your goal. An engaging "how-to" drama, this video not only demystifies corporate buzzwords like "standards" and benchmarking," but shows how your company can be run with efficiency and humanity.

Like the outstanding business book upon which it is based, The Goal is the story of how manager Alex Rogo uses principles like "bottlenecks," "throughput," and the "theory of constraints" to transform his mediocre division into a money-making machine. Alex and his team gradually reject the "common nonsense" measurements they had been using to measure productivity and discover a commonsense approach to improving the company's bottom line.

Based on the best-selling book by Eli Goldratt, this inspiring video fosters bottom-line, team-driven commitment through real-life dramas that demystify buzzwords like "bottlenecks" and "improvement measurements." The Goal tells the story of Alex Rogo, a plant manager facing the threat of his plant's closure. The video follows Alex and his team as they use such principles as benchmarking and the theory of constraints to transform their mediocre division into a money-making machine.

For those who have not yet read the book, the video is a good way to find out what all the "continuous improvement" buzz is all about without having to turn a page. And for those who have read The Goal, the video is an excellent tool for spreading its important message to others...in groups, one-on-one sessions, in a brown-bag lunch, or in your corporate quality drive.

How does the "How-To" version differ from the "Dramatic Story?"
The "how-to" version features narrative overviews that support the storyline with clearly defined, step-by-step explanations of the improvement process. Also, the scenes that dramatize Alex's family life have been reduced to a minimum.
