PREPARE TO EMBRACE THE NEW ECONOMY WITH THE TIMELESS MESSAGE OF DR. W.
EDWARDS DEMING


Don't just react to the present economy, create the foundation to take
advantage of the future economy. In this age of downsizing, massive
layoffs, and poor morale many leaders are searching for a new way to
conduct business. Dr. Deming offers a message for a new management, a
map of theory to prepare for the future.
Join The W. Edwards Deming Institute as we host the highly acclaimed
‘Quality, Productivity, and Competitive Position’, October 13-16, 2003,
in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The aim of the seminar is to start people on the road to transformation,
and to create a desire for more knowledge. The route to transformation
from the prevailing management style is what Dr. Deming called Profound
Knowledge. Dr. Deming’s system of profound knowledge is comprised of
four parts, all related to one another:

Appreciation for a System
Knowledge of Psychology
Knowledge About Variation
Theory of Knowledge


Combining direct challenges and deep insights into management, this
seminar includes:
- Interactive exercises to enhance learning, including: The Red Bead
Factory, The Red Squares, Rules of the Funnel, and Management is
Prediction.
- Working group activities.
- Facilitation and discussion by experts who studied with Dr. Deming and
guided companies in applying the theories.
- Examples of applications, discussions of how to use this thinking in
your company.
Dr. Deming’s theory represents a departure from common modes of thought
concerning appropriate methods for management of system and people.
Although presented in terms of business management, the seminar material
is applicable to management in every size business and service
organization, in education, health care, government, manufacturing, and
has implications for worldwide economic development.
“Once the individual understands the system of profound knowledge, he
will apply its principles in every kind of relationship with other
people. He will have a basis for judgment of his own decisions and for
transformation of the organizations that he belongs to.”


Dr. W. Edwards Deming
The New Economics


Dr. Deming used his seminars as the primary method to reach large groups
of business leaders with his message. He conducted seminars over 18
times per year, both in public and private sessions. The Las Vegas
seminar continues Dr. Deming's quest to educate leaders in a better
theory of management.
