In this post adapted from my book Deming’s Journey to Profound Knowledge, I break down the four parts of Deming’s System of Profound Knowledge, his codified system of systems.
In Deming’s masterwork, The New Economics, published in 1993, the Master simplified his 14 Points for Management into the four elements of the System of Profound Knowledge: The Theory of Knowledge, a theory for knowing how you know something, The Theory of Variation, a theory of how to measure what you know, The Theory of Psychology, a theory of how to understand human behavior, and Appreciation of Systems and Systems Thinking, an understanding of interconnectedness.
