We All Fall Down - the entertaining self-help business novel for anyone working in the public sector
For Beth Seager, dealing with 'fearsome' work colleagues and 'fighting fires' has inadvertently become a part of her job description. As a Manager of Admissions for the British National Health Service, Beth is desperate to find a way to free up more beds for sick patients while maintaining her sanity in a volatile work environment.
While management continues to implement one faulty plan after another and with no investment funds in sight, Beth searches for an effective way to improve patient services throughout the healthcare system. Over a series of secret tutoring sessions from her brother in law in the US, and with the help of a tenacious professor and her sceptical husband (a self described venture capitalist with a heart) Beth discovers that not only does everyone want to do a good job, but through understanding the core problem of the system, they can work together to treat the cause and not the symptoms.
We All Fall Down is destined to revolutionise the service industry and not-for-profit sector in the same way that Eli Goldratt's book The Goal
So what is this Theories of Constraints all about?
The full title of the book is We All Fall Down - Goldratt's Theory of Constraints for Healthcare Systems. Eli Goldratt's Theories of Constraints or TOC has become popular in manufacturing industries since the publication of The Goal - a textbook written in the style of a thriller novel set in a struggling factory - that has now sold over 3 million copies.
After many years of success Goldratt has created the The Avraham Y. Goldratt Institute - a global enterprise devoted to delivering improved bottom line results through the successful implementation of the Theory of Constraints (TOC). The Institute is led by a team of highly acclaimed TOC Experts, each of whom has played a significant role in the creation and ongoing development of the TOC body of knowledge.
However, until We All Fall Down there has not been a book that applies TOC to the service industries and office politics.
