Anonymous Jan 12, 2024 4:23 pm Thanks for the article, and in addition to the comment about pride being a hindrance in America, there are two other areas that belong there, ignorance and arrogance. Deming's philosophy of the new economics and the system of profound knowledge are not widely taught in universities, and this is where the ignorance comes from. The arrogance comes from the meritocracy that feeds the executives and managers who think they have nothing to learn after graduating with MBAs. This is not to condemn them, I'll repeat Deming's question, "How could they know?" Reply
Anonymous Aug 7, 2023 4:00 pm Thank you for the article! Deming is an amazing man! He truly is a pioneer and brilliant man. I believe the number one hindrance that Americans have is PRIDE. Humility goes a long ways with process improvement and innovation! Respectfully, Randy Cline CMBBLSS, BSBM Yakima, WA. Reply
