Obituary: Dr. Eliyahu M. Goldratt 1947-2011

Sad news of the passing of a true process hero - Dr. Eliyahu M. Goldrat passed away at his home in Israel on 11th June 2011. The inventor of the Theory of Constraints, Goldratt was a pivotal figure in bringing process to the forefront of modern business thinking. He is probably best known for his excellent and unique book, "The Goal".

If you would like to pay your respects, you can leave a message here or view a tribute here.

I'll leave you with a few of his own words, which today seem more poignant than ever:

‎"I smile and start to count on my fingers. One, people are good. Two, every conflict can be removed. Three, every situation, no matter how complex it initially looks, is exceedingly simple. Four, every situation can be substantially improved; even the sky is not the limit. Five, every person can reach a full life. Six, there is always a win-win solution. Shall I continue to count?"

Live today like it's your last.

Cheers,

TPN
