Thanks for the suggestion, how does what he says stack up against those who came after, I ask this because this is one of my favourite management talks by Russell Ackoff [1] and he mentions Dr Deming so assume he was influenced by/worked/studied with him and given their relative ages wondered if his work might be valuable to start with?

Many of Deming's findings and ideas now seem so obvious that it's hard to believe their origins are so recent. I'd bet that much of what you think about management and organizations comes from Deming.
