Anyway, we met this week and had an interesting quality conversation. And I learned all about The Deming Cycle. Has anyone heard of this?
The Deming cycle or PDSA cycle:
PLAN: plan ahead for change. Analyze and predict the results.
DO: execute the plan, taking small steps in controlled circumstances.
STUDY: (CHECK) , study the results.
ACT: take action to standardize or improve the process.
I must be honest. In my pre-new-me days, I would've been all over this thing. In those days when the clamouring was just a murmur and chaos was not my constant companion.So what's my new cycle? Find freedom in structure. Find order in change. Find discipline in discovery. Find structure in freedom. Find change in order. Find discovery in discipline.
Wish me luck.

I've never heard ot his but I am always willing to learn, what is it? Does it work? Good luck!
Nicole - my mom's in town - she says hello - and yes, we've already had our first "discussion" on her beloved smoking habit
Lorraine, Beth, CBW - Thank you all. Luck is always needed, even in the most futile of endeavors.
Christina - Of course you have!
Mouse - I doubt it works for anything other than industrial process. But I could be wrong.
Beth - Hi to Mom!
More information for those interested in more on the PDSA cycle or Dr. Deming
