Red Bead Breakdown of Out of the Crisis - Episode 1

In Episode 1 of the Red Bead podcast we start our breakdown of W. Edwards Deming's, "Out of the Crisis." Over the next several episodes we'll introduce the key concepts of the book as we move through, chapter by chapter. Key points in episode 1 include: How is, "Back to the Future" related to transformation in Japan? Why Japan was uniquely situated to accept Deming's teachings, where Quality really originates, and when can we in management actually chalk an issue up to a human factor?
