The central thesis of this text is the system of transformation underlying the 14 Points for Management, known as the Deming System of Profound Knowledge [2]. This system consists of four parts: appreciation for a system, knowledge about variation, theory of knowledge, and psychology [2]. The aim of this transformation is for everyone to work together as a system, with the goal of everybody winning through cooperation and a new style of management [2].
Applying the Deming System of Profound Knowledge is shown to increase productivity, quality, and people's joy in work and learning, leading to short-term and long-term success in the market [2]. This philosophy also includes advice to abolish performance reviews and to look deeper than spreadsheets for opportunities [1, 2].
