ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:
Dr. W. Edwards Deming had a profound effect on the quality profession. He is the acknowledged guru who led Japan out of the darkness of war and into a brilliant industrial future with quality as its cornerstone. But did he really say it? And what did he mean when he said such things as “substitute leadership!” or “the most important things are unknown or unknowable”? These are things he wanted to teach western management, but to a large extent, they missed the point. Bill Scherkenbach, who assisted Dr. Deming on many of his 4-day workshops, will be giving a 3-Day version of his workshop.
