Creation of Deming System of Profound Knowledge Framework

Total Quality Management (TQM), Lean, and Lean Six Sigma are problem-solving methodology examples. Each of these problem solving approaches has strengths and weaknesses; however, these techniques are not an organizational governance system. Some regard governance as a collection of separate processes, or as a component of broader management or leadership processes. A more inclusive governance definition is the need for consistent cohesive management policies, processes and decision-rights throughout the enterprise. Ideally this governance system should incorporate what W. Edwards Deming referred to as System of Profound knowledge. An Integrated Enterprise Excellence (IEE) roadmap system for this accomplishment is described in a 4 book-volume series.

Enhanced Corporate Governance Model System

The American Management Association (AMA) describes a 21st-century governance system and how a company benefited from its deployment. The 9-step framework of the described Integrated Enterprise Excellence (IEE) business management system provides a guiding-light roadmap for navigating through and beyond these challenging times. IEE provides a long-lasting system for structurally integrating healthy policy creation and deployment with a systematic blending of scorecards, strategic planning, business improvement, and control so that the enterprise as a whole benefits. IEE system goes beyond many traditional and recent management techniques such as the balanced scorecard.
