Presented by The W. Edwards Deming Institute

Deming Strategies for Sustainable Success: Innovate, Streamline, Lead

About This Event

This two-day seminar is for anyone who thinks there must be a better way to get things done. Executives, entrepreneurs, managers and teams can all benefit from this experience.

Deming’s Chain Reaction puts it plainly. Improve quality and costs go down, because there is less variation, less defects, less rework. Productivity increases. You compete on better quality at a lower price, you stay in business, and you provide more jobs. These two days are about learning to run that reaction inside your own organization. 

When: November 6 & 7, 2026 

Where: Fordham University’s Gabelli School of Business, Lincoln Center campus, NYC 

Investment: $2,200 per person, with lower rates for groups, educators, and nonprofits 

What You'll Learn (Check out the brochure for details.)

  • Organizational Systems: Silos cause friction. Instead, focus on how to boost quality and productivity while simultaneously reducing costs. 
  • Understanding Variation: Make better decisions by learning the ways Deming taught to look at data. Learn what to do when problems come up. 
  • Test Your Theories: If you aren’t getting enough of what you want, you may have fallen into the Assumption Trap. Break free. You’ll learn powerful tools for better communication, to lead change, and to improve your systems. 
  • Psychology of Management: Fear and the way people interact shape culture. Learn why traditional "carrot-and-stick" methods limit interactions and drive in fear. Find out what to do instead.  

What are the two days like?

  • Immersive Experience: Fun, interactive activities, small group discussions, and practical work sessions guided by Deming mentors.
  • Expert Guidance: Learn from experienced leaders and Deming experts. Get personalized feedback and actionable strategies to use immediately.
  • Networking Opportunities: Connect with industry professionals, share experiences, and build relationships to support your continued growth.
