|---|---|---|---|
Purposedifferent | When strategic direction needs to become measurable, it connects ambition with checkable results. It makes goals connectable to focus and review. | When an initiative stalls, the limit often lies not in the idea but in hard or soft boundary conditions. Constraint Analysis separates these limits and shows which of them can actually be shaped. | For a flow that backs up at one point, the method looks for the capacity limit with the greatest leverage. It explains why extra effort elsewhere barely improves throughput. |
