In the “old days,” a person was hired into a position, learned the job, and – usually because of some form of functional proficiency – received a promotion into management. Then, as a manager, this same person could tell a few people what to do. A classic example was the old Bell System.

Every HR, OD professional, and management consultant should at the very least be aware of their existence, if not well-versed in their ideas and theories. In one of the defining management studies carried out in the 90s, Collins and his team complied a list of 1,435 companies in search of those special few that could truly be called “great.”

At that point, what an organization based on Deming management system would want to do is consider if that crisis is an indication of a bad system that we should spend resources to examine and improve. That is a powerful diagram.

In my four decades as a senior manager, CEO, and corporate director of American high-tech companies, I have never seen the state of innovation in the U.S. What is most telling is the restrictive and uncreative cultural climates created by CEOs and other senior managers.
