Eli Goldratt is an educator, author, scientist, philosopher, and business leader. But he is, first and foremost, a thinker who provokes others to think. Often characterized as unconventional, stimulating, and "a slayer of sacred cows," Dr. Goldratt exhorts his audience to examine and reassess their business practices with a fresh, new vision.

He is the author of "The Goal", an underground best seller that utilizes a non-traditional approach to convey important business information--it is a business textbook written in novel form, disguised as a love story. The ideas illustrated in "The Goal" underscore Dr. Goldratt's Theory of Constraints, an overall framework for helping businesses determine:

• What to change – what is the leverage point
• What to change to – what are the simple, practical solutions
• How to cause the change – overcoming the inherent resistance to change.
