Flying Logic is easy and intuitive to use. For those of us who use the TOC Thinking Processes, Flying Logic has succeeded where every other tool — whether it’s software, sticky notes, or pencil-and-paper — has failed. It eliminates the time spent on drawing and arranging, and it enables us to test our assumptions quickly, easily and visually.
Lisa ScheinkopfAuthor, Thinking For A Change: Putting the TOC Thinking Processes to Use
Thank you for making this tool! I've been using it for over a decade now. I was so frustrated when I had to design my [TOC] diagrams with Visio...because it was so cumbersome to use.
Jessica BurnsData Scientist
Flying Logic enables a fundamental shift to a new ‘S-curve’ in capabilities and workflows. I start every engagement with a ‘Right-to-Left’ thinking exercise that now, thanks to Flying Logic, can flow directly into project plans, Kanban boards, set-based problem-solving and even critical chain project management. In the current virtual environment nothing else comes close.
Matthew J. O’BrienProject Manager & Process Engineer, Boeing
Flying Logic is the best software I have ever used for writing and communicating the logic of cause and effect.
Dr. Oscar MoralesMexico
Flying Logic is a powerful tool for visual support of critical thinking. It elevates my ability to think visually and to rethink with minimal rework in the diagrams. It is a true enabler of constructive thought.
Rich PetersenPrincipal, Capridea, Inc.
Flying Logic makes logic visible, and removes the drudgery of making logic trees beautiful. The tools are so clever: they give you control and keep track of the analytical side invisibly.
James R. Holt, Ph.D., PEAssociate Professor Engineering & Technology Management, Washington State University
Flying Logic facilitates real-time analysis of an organization's problems in a group setting, and reduces the need for follow-up meetings to gain consensus in the planning. Flying logic is also very useful for individuals working on problems— there is less chance of overlooking negatives to an idea/solution.
Howard D. Meeks, Ph.D.Associate Professor, College of Engineering, Iowa State University
There is no other software that allows you to clearly and quickly visualize a problem and all its components in an organized and aesthetically pleasing structure.
Juan C. Sanchez LozanoIT Consultant
Absolutely the best tool for building TOC trees.

A neat, smooth way to create thinking process diagrams.

To try in any normal diagraming tool would be futile in comparison to the speed and flexibility that Flying Logic offers.
Pete CohenPrincipal Consultant, DiUS Computing
I once gave TOC workshops to some 75 children at an elementary school. The objective was to demonstrate that children are capable of learning the theory of constraints. Not only was this great fun to do, but the results were surprising and very positive. And *obviously* I used Flying Logic during these workshops.
Jan Wybe OosterkampResearcher
Critical thinking is the most difficult work we do. In my experience the only way to effectively think critically is to document the logic process. Flying Logic is by far the easiest and fastest way to do that.
John McDonaldSr. Manager, Accenture Applied Intelligence Group
Flying Logic is the quickest way, I have found, to get my thoughts out and placed clearly in front of me and my team.
Stewart WittPartner, Arvense Group
Flying Logic has transformed the way I approach both growth modeling and conflict resolution. Not only does it allow me to break down elements of situations, but engages the user and teams to keep solutions flowing. Every time I use it in groups, everyone wants to know ‘What is that software you are using?
Matthew CableAccount/Project Manager, Performance Display and Millwork
When confronted with a difficult, complex problem, I turn to Flying Logic for help.
Chris VanslagerExec. Vice President, AM General LLC
There is no other software that I know that can help clarify tangled problems like Flying Logic can.

Flying Logic is very useful in building project plans; it helps people internalize the connections between tasks. You can learn enough of it in a day to make it useful as you continue to learn more about the tool.
Kristine KasperProject Engineer, Boeing
The best tool for thinking.
Francisco Javier Sierra Vazquezalexandria21.mx
There is no other tool that does what Flying Logic does. Yes it does diagrams, but is it so simple and easy to get a great looking layout that it becomes a unrivaled tool for thinking about processes and how they can be made more efficient.
David GarbuttSenior Consultant
Flying Logic is a powerful tool for intelligent people.
Keith-Neil SaluveerCEO, Corestone Resources Ltd.

I used Flying Logic to design my former company's cost logic for the entire business unit, and every bid that comes out of that business unit to this day is based on that logic I designed using your tool so many years ago.
Jessica BurnsData Scientist
Flying Logic allows me to explain, to myself and others, complexities and inter-dependencies that would take hours to draw or describe.

I was able to use Flying Logic to implement TOC thinking to a charity dinner, and we went from being in the red one year to being able to donate $10,000 to hospitalized children by year 2.
Jessica BurnsData Scientist
Visual logic made simple to use and easy to explain.
Harry op ’t EndeDirector, PRO6 Managers
TOC diagramming is only the beginning. Like a pencil and paper, Flying Logic is limited only by your imagination in solving problems and selling the solution.

Moritz Berger
I really enjoy Flying Logic. It has proven to be a great way to organize data that is extremely hierarchical, like knowledge about technology, and which technologies you need to further understand other technologies. We built out a massive Flying Logic document which describes knowledge in our company.
