Summary: Actually, I was not able to pull that off. Instead, I interviewed what I consider one of the, if not the best source on Dr. Deming, <a href="http://johnhunter.com/">John Hunter</a>. John has an interesting lineage with Dr. Deming and in the interview, we talked about some of that history and why the thoughts of Dr. Deming have continued to flourish. I am not the only one that holds John in such high regard; the <a href="http://deming.org">Deming Institute</a> has sanctioned John to write the <a href="http://blog.deming.org/">Deming Blog</a>. John already has a very popular blog of his own, the <a href="http://management.curiouscatblog.net/">Curious Cat Management Improvement Blog</a>. <br> <br> The richness of the stories about Dr. Deming and his principles to me were fascinating. I found little that I could edit. I apologize for the length. <br> <br> About the <a href="http://blog.deming.org/">Deming Blog</a>: John will explore Deming’s ideas on management by examining his works and exploring how the ideas are being applied in organizations today.
