Re: The main difficulties to implant TQC: Solution SoPK

I want to thank Dan Swart for his reply. The two works cited do involve 
significant "improvement." The difficulty is mine in that I was not clear (oh 
darn, I forgot the "operational definition") in my use of the term 
"Significant Change."

The term, as I intended it does not refer to improvement of an existing 
process or system but to its abolishment and replacement with a completely 
new system, based on a different vision/aim (what some author's refer to as 
"breakthrough").

Examples? Lots! In any field you want to look at. Here are just a few:
Science: Einstein, Bohm, Capra, Pasteur, Curie, Fleming, Salk, Jung, etc.
Applications: Deming, Edison, Wright Brothers, Fulton, Alexander Graham Bell, 
Henry Ford, etc.,
Politics: Washington/Jefferson, Napoleon, Lincoln, Ghandi, etc. 
Socio-Religious/Philosophical: The Buddha, the Christ, Mohammed, Moses, 
Martin Luther King, Marx, etc.

In each such case we see the disestablishment of an existing power 
structure/system AND its leadership, and their replacement with a new 
system/leadership. That, to me, is significant change (and significantly 
different than an "improvement," no matter how major).
