Deming's Journey to Profound Knowledge

How Deming Helped Win a War, Altered the Face of Industry, and Holds the Key to Our Future

By: John Willis

Narrated by: Josh Bloomberg

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 into the future.

Part business history, part biography, part journey into deep business sense, author John Willis captures the full picture of Deming’s life and influence. Most importantly, it 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.

The far reach of Dr. Demming

Through a fascinating structure, this book not only reminds us of Demming’s life, but informs us of how far Demming’s teachings have had an impact. Like ripples in a pond. Not only is the information engaging, but the connections are told in interesting ways. The book keeps you locked in the whole time. Highly recommend.
