Time to Act
October 27th, 2008 Posted in Rants
We are in the midst of a perfect storm that Deming presaged. This is the CRISIS he foresaw when he titled his book, "Out of the Crisis"
- Two ongoing war’s of of adventure and still counting
- Unprecedented national deficits
- Deconstruction of service and manufacturing enterprises dedicated to creating substantive value
- Meltdown of money churning financial institutions
- Nationalization of banks
- Bailout of insurance gamblers
In one week you will be called upon to take action. Consider Deming’s words when you cast your vote.
"It is not necessary to change. Survival is not mandatory."
"Does experience help? No! Not if we are doing the wrong things."
"A system must be managed. It will not manage itself. Left to themselves in the Western world, components become selfish, competitive. We can not afford the destructive effect of competition."
"We are here to make another world."
