A structured guide to the content of Deming's famous four-day-management-seminars, the marathon sessions that were his primary teaching vehicle from 1980 until his death in 1993. Latzko and Saunders, both long-time associates of Deming, organized the material from the seminars into a systematic presentation covering statistical thinking, the system-of-profound-knowledge, the the-14-points-for-management, and the the-red-bead-experiment. The book preserves Deming's teaching methodology — his Socratic style, his use of demonstrations, and his insistence that transformation must begin with top management — in a format that outlived the seminars themselves.
