Profound knowledge, knowledge that is under our noses, pops up all around us. Dr Deming gave us a System of Profound Knowledge (SoPK) that has the potential to continually generate profound knowledge. It is called profound because of the reaction we have when it is uncovered and the impact it can have on our activities. It can appear by chance, intuition or a SoPK.
The article below appeared in the Sunday, January 9, 2011, Detroit Free Press entitled "Nonprofit group saves 150 homes from tax auction block with $194,000." With all the millions spent very ineffectively trying to prevent folks from losing their homes, a small organization armed with Profound Knowledge very effectively and efficiently saves scores of homes from foreclosure. Good job, United Housing Coalition!

PK without Deming: How a boss saved jobs: She laid herself off
Profound knowledge (PK) is knowledge that is all around us human beings, right under our noses, is not easily discovered by our senses, and called profound because of its impact and power in the realm of human activity when it is uncovered. It can be discovered by trial and error, accidentally, intuitively or in a designed system of thought. Dr W. Edward Deming devised a System of Profound Knowledge (SoPK) that provides a constant flow of PK when it is implemented in an organization of people. It can also have a powerful affect when it is implemented by even one individual within an organization. I know this for certain.
When I post in the category of "PK without Deming", I want to acknowledge that PK can and is discovered outside Dr. Deming's SoPK. I find examples of PK actually confirm the truth of Dr Deming's SoPK, though it is my opinion the best way to discover PK is by Dr Deming's SoPK. This way discovery is repeatable, effects monitored and corrections made. When PK is discovered outside of Dr. Deming's SoPK many times it will not sustain itself, or have the impact it could have . Sometimes PK, such as a new invention, has a power all its own, but will not live up to its full potential.
And now to the subject matter of this post, Lola Gonzalez whether she realized it or not was walking in harmony with Dr Deming's Points 1, 2, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, & 14 in her profound action in keeping her company and employees prospering. Hats off to Lola!
