About Deming

The Aim of This Webpage

To promote learning about Deming’s approach to more effective leadership, greater productivity, higher quality, and healthier lives.

Method: a series of talks about the teachings of W. Edwards Deming, and the impact of his teaching on my life and — potentially — yours.

Welcome Notes

I am not an expert on W. Edwards Deming. I’m learning to understand and apply his teachings as I proceed.

My knowledge is limited to hearing Dr. Deming in 1987; a three-day workshop led by The Deming Institute in 2017; and — most significantly — a long-standing marriage since 1988 to Alisa, who started her career in manufacturing and with the study of Deming.

I recorded these videos monthly during the first half of 2026, as I presented the topics to the monthly meetings of select peer groups. The following videos are in the order of my delivery, but the order of viewing is unimportant. Each video can be understood independently.
