7. Williams Edwards Deming
When people and organizations focus primarily on quality,
quality tends to increase and costs fall over time.
Results of work efforts
Quality =
Total costs
When people and organizations focus primarily on costs,
costs tend to rise and quality declines over time.

8. More is better...
The more process improvement methods that are
incorporated into the organization the higher the
overall quality improvement trends (Sun, 1999).
– This supports the concept that companies that
implemented TQM achieved higher levels of
improvement than those that do not.
– The improvement is the result of an increase learning
effect as quality improvement methods are applied to
the organization.

20. Tips from learning organizations…
When there is a genuine vision (as opposed to the all-too-familiar
‘vision statement’), people excel and learn, not because they are told
to, but because they want to.
The practice of shared vision involves the skills of unearthing shared
‘pictures of the future’ that foster genuine commitment and involvement
rather than compliance.
Visions spread because of a reinforcing process.
Increased clarity, enthusiasm and commitment rub off on others in the
organization. ‘As people talk, the vision grows clearer. As it gets
clearer, enthusiasm for its benefits grows’

and strategy that measures transitions through four key
perspectives: Financial, Customer, Internal Business Process,
Learning and Growth (Kaplan & Norton, 1992)
• BSC is a strategy-focused management methodology used to
manage organizational performance (Kristensen, Juhl, &
Eskildsen, 2003)
• BSC is structured to measure a company’s actions in building
capabilities to acquire the assets necessary for future growth
(Kaplan & Norton, 2006)

40. Engage in dialogue…
The discipline of team learning starts with ‘dialogue’, the
capacity of members of a team to suspend assumptions and
enter into a genuine ‘thinking together’.
To the Greeks dia-logos meant free-flowing meaning
through a group, allowing the group to discover insights not
attainable individually…. [It] also involves learning how to
recognize the patterns of interaction in teams that
undermine learning.
