Hillside Yellers?

["Jim Clauson, Breakthrough Systems" <jim@jclauson.com>]

From Jack Campbell ( rjackcam@comcast.net )

It seems to me that we Deming supporters are like a small, leaderless, 
medieval revolutionary army standing on a distant hill yelling protests at 
the castle. We're not really being heard and not gaining ground or 
followers. And, like the army on the hill, the question that we haven't 
been able to answer is: how do we educate others (in Deming concepts) and 
steadily gain followers so that we can have a revolution ?

What are some of the barriers ? For one thing, it is way too expensive to 
learn and/or educate others about Deming. For example, if a person wanted 
to learn as much about Deming as most of us know, what would it cost them ? 
What is the cost to benefit ratio of them investing their time and money to 
become educated? How would they even hear about Deming? For them, Deming 
may be unknown and unknowable.

For those who are learning Deming philosphies, do we have a gameplan that 
suggests how they can apply them in their workplace, their career, and/or 
the revolution ?

How can we remove some barriers, get organized, and develop a gameplan; 
rather than yelling from our hillside ?
