Deming System of Profound Knowledge

Deming’s System of Profound Knowledge is a framework for understanding how organizations work and improve. It consists of four key interconnected areas: appreciation for a system (seeing the organization as a whole), knowledge about variation (understanding how processes fluctuate), a theory of knowledge (scientific thinking and learning), and psychology (understanding people’s motivations and behavior). By integrating these areas, organizations can make better decisions, enhance quality, and foster continuous improvement, ultimately creating more effective, adaptive, and resilient workplaces.
