From the birth of modern industry to winning WWII to Japan's Economic Miracle, W. Edwards Deming helped shape some of the most profound moments in modern history. Deming, an American engineer and statistician, is widely recognized for his contributions to the field of quality management. But his teachings go beyond quality management; they influence not only how we work today, but also how we can continue to succeed in the future.
Part business history, part biography, part journey into deep business sense, bestselling author John Willis captures the full picture of Deming's life and influence. Most importantly, Willis reveals the experiences that led to Deming's greatest discovery: the System of Profound Knowledge, a collection of fundamental truths that show how any system or process can be transformed into something greater.
From the real-life Rosie the Riveter to a hacker writing US cybersecurity law, Deming's ingenuity and system of thinking changed how we think in the modern world. This book shows how we can take that influence and continue to apply it our own future.
“Deming's Journey to Profound Knowledge is a must-read for any student of Lean, Agile, quality, the Toyota Production System, and continuous improvement—or any leader who seeks to create a culture of excellence in their organization.”
—Katie Anderson, author of LearningtoLead, LeadingtoLearn
