Introduction
Most managers hate constraints and bottlenecks. After all constraints and bottlenecks cause delays, don’t they?

Constraint Innovation based on the internationally acclaimed Theory of Constraints (ToC), and combines other leading management doctrines such as Lean.

CI addresses the challenge of “Unlocking Value” via leveraging your Constraints be it Resource Constraints, Policy Constraints, as well as a Market Constraint (i.e., the Public).
Format
Within the allocated time, Lewis conveys the central themes of Constraint Innovation through a personal story during his officer training for the Israeli Air Force. The story revolves around a desert training exercise in which the "Constraint" is the slowest trooper by the name "Herbie". All of Constraint Innovation fundamentals are employed in the story, showing how we "leverage" Herbie and achieve the desired outcome. Herbie's story is the story of every system, where ultimately the outcomes of all organizations are dictated by how we manage our Constraints, our "Herbies".
