Are YOU facing a difficult decision?

The outcome of your decision will be
determined by a SIMPLE formula.
Event + Response = Outcome
You cannot control Events.
You can only control your Response.
You must DECIDE how to RESPOND
to get the positive OUTCOME you want.

Why is it so difficult to decide HOW to respond?

There are 3 reasons it is difficult:

We often REACT, we do not RESPOND, so can over-react or under-react
There are always 2 Responses and each Response has unique Pros and Cons

(+ Outcomes and - Outcomes)

This puts us in a Decision Conflict

How can HARMONY help you make a good decision?

We designed the HARMONY App to guide you through 5 steps, each designed to help you avoid the 5 most common decision mistakes. It will allow you to make difficult decisions, better, faster and with confidence.

How can YOU avoid the mistake of REACTING?

To avoid either OVER- OR UNDER-REACTING, we should validate that the Positive or Negative Event (Problem) we feel pressure to respond to, is really important to us, and those we care about.

How to UNDERSTAND YOUR conflict & need?

To avoid just jumping to a solution, we should list BOTH options we have on how to RESPOND (the conflict) and for each option, list both the unique PROS you want and unique CONS you don’t want (the need).

How to find a win:win to RESOLVE your conflict?

To avoid having to live with any CONS or lose out on any PROS (the need), Harmony will guide you to create 4 win:win Resolutions so you can select the one with the most PROS and least CONS

How to ensure your solution will not FAIL?

To avoid the risk of your selected breakthrough failing, you and other people involved, should raise as many “Yes-Buts” and how to overcome these (the Yes-Ands) that can be added to your solution to reduce the risk of a bad outcome.

How to test your solution with an EXPERIMENT?

To avoid investing too much time and/or money before knowing whether your solution will actually work, Harmony will create a summary of the Why, What and How of your analysis to share with others that can help you test it with an experiment.

How to SHARE and LEARN from others

To collaborate and get feedback or allow others to learn from your experience, you can share your analysis via the Harmony App. If you do get stuck, you can also go to the Community Library to learn from other users that shared their analysis.

Who is Goldratt Research Labs?

The vision of Goldratt Research Labs is to develop and apply a discovery process that will result in the creation and dissemination of new TOC knowledge through win:win:win partnerships, typically with organizations that are already considered to be the leaders within their industries, but for which a generic TOC solution does not yet exist or where the application of TOC will require significant translation.

The objective of these partnerships are two fold. Firstly, to use the mindset and methods f TOC to jointly analyze, develop and test the required new TOC knowledge to help these organizations to overcome a specific improvement limitation or achieve what they consider to be an unattainable goal (the “win” for GRL and for the organization) and secondly, to convert this specific problem and specific solution into a general problem and general solution that will enable other organizations within that industry to benefit while protecting key aspects that would be considered decisive differentiators (the “win” for others within this and other similar industries)

The company was established on 1^st January 2008 at the request of Dr Eli Goldratt to create an organization that will become the spearhead for new developments and testing to the TOC body of knowledge.

If, after researching the TOC body of knowledge and large reference bank, you believe your organization might satisfy the above criteria (i.e. that no generic TOC solution exist yet or that most likely, the application of a TOC would require significant modifications to achieve the required or desired improvement in goal units), you are welcome to contact Alan Barnard.
