Quickie: What’s the Constraint?
What’s the biggest constraint in every organisation?
Always, always, ALWAYS, it’s management thinking*. Specifically, it’s the collective assumptions and beliefs held in common across the organisation a whole. How will you exploit this constraint?
If your approach to running your business fails to recognise this, you will fail at least 90% of the time. And the other 10% will be pure luck.
*Irrespective of whether the organisation actually has “management” or not.

This goes well together with how Goldratt considered Management Attention to be the ultimate constraint. I think the two go well together.
