"In Clayton Christensen’s book, Competing Against Luck, the authors delve into the importance of gaining a deep understanding of what your customers desire. The book lays out a Theory of Jobs to be Done in a very compelling way. This is a great example of extending ’s ideas with a great deal of useful content on how to effectively become more customer focused."

The W. Edwards Deming InstituteJobs to be Done - The W. Edwards Deming Institute"While many in the business world associate the word 'theory' with something purely academic or abstract, nothing could be further from the truth. Theories that explain causality are among the most important and practical tools business leaders can have." - Clayton Christensen

"Inspecting a product once it's built doesn't improve its quality. Inspection merely discovers a lack of quality. Quality isn't something to be added at the end but to be designed into the product from the get-go. Deming said quality isn't so much about improving the product as it is about improving the process." - John "Botchagalupe" Willis

"A good software product team should instill a software development culture that being wrong is a good thing; that's how organisations learn. Without learning, an organisation dies. A tool for learning is the PDSA loop, and it's an essential part of testing software code these days. In most organisations, they Plan and Do. However, they miss the Study and Act portions of the cycle." - John "Botchagalupe" Willis

Granted, I would prefer working to promote the transformation, but if you are not in a position to do that, there are still plenty of opportunities to apply ’s ideas.

First, you can transform yourself.
You can transform your understanding and how you learn, with an appreciation for the Theory of Knowledge...
View your organization with an understanding of Deming’s management ideas...

رسیدم به فصل ۹، صفحهٔ ۲۷۹. تا این جا هم کتاب همچنان همون جوریه که بالاتر درباره‌اش نوشتم، و دارم لذت می‌برم و پیوسته بینش عمیق #Deming رو بهتر می‌فهمم. مشتاقم برسم به فصل ۱۱ که تا این جا چپ و راست داره بهش ارجاع می‌ده و توش مفهوم «سیستم پایدار» رو توضیح می‌ده. کتابش سبک عجیبیه. شاید حدود ۱۰ درصد تئوری غیر ریاضی، ۱۰ درصد نمودار و عدد و حساب‌کتاب، و ۸۰ درصد مثال از حوزه‌های مختلف صنعت به شکل قصه و نامه و لیست و بریدهٔ روزنامه حتی.
