TESTIMONIAL

My Deming history was that I had read a number of books who referenced Deming's work - never made the time to go to the source.

I found the videos to be extremely informative and the discussion was nothing short of eye-opening - both from a learning standpoint and also from the perspective that the subjects covered are like an onion - there is much more to learn.  My education to date amounts to nothing more than a "learners permit."

I also appreciated the opportunity to see Dave Nave lead this discussion group - Good Show Dave!
