Leaders regularly need more from their new product investment while technology and marketing groups complain they are already stretched too far. The typical response to this dilemma is to add process (and the attendant bureaucracy) or to teach project and time management skills, these approaches often just end up with people running faster on the same treadmill. The answer lies in the more subtle direction of the Theory of Constraints (TOC)—a tool that has historically been used to help manufacturing operations identify and eliminate bottlenecks. A TOC approach works with the current process to find the innovation bottleneck—the constraint that is holding back all the other steps in the process. Five focusing steps are used to rigorously eliminate that constraint and move on to the next with an increase in innovation throughput as each cycle of improvement is completed.
