· ToC seems, to me, to be about filling in the gaps.
· . It is The Plan. In Details. Think of GPS instructions (and what they should be). Did your GPS ever give bad directions? I had mine get stuck a couple of weeks ago, she kept telling me (we call he Violet) “Turn right. Turn right. Turn right. Turn right.” She put us onto a detour which we followed. At one point, she took us into an apartment complex parking lot, and the detour ended (literally) at the end of the parking lot – and there was no exit. We wound up backtracking and getting out of there by driving through the construction zone, dodging road graders and piles of rubble along the way.
We needed our gaps filled, and a better plan. That is what ToC does. There are no mysteries, there is a reason for everything. And a backup plan for the backup plan. We evaluate everything all along the way and adapt and adjust as needed.
The weakest spot (to me) is unintended consequences. We cannot plan for everything, so the plan stays flexible – whether it is a corporate plan using ToC or using GPS.
