Taiwan's Deming Scholar Lectures (2008/ a proposal )

Dear Bill,

Thanks for your kindness to promise to deliver three Deming Scholar Lectures for CSQ and Tunghai University.

As I mentioned to you that the purpose is to address the understanding and application issues of Deming's System of Profound Knowledge.I have been working in this Asia Pacific region for several years and must have some insights or reflection about.the subject of this year lectures.

Let's do some benchmarking for the lectures. Please kindly visit the BBC's Reith Lectures, 2008:

Radio 4 - Reith Lectures 2008: Chinese Vistas

The 60th Anniversary Radio 4 Reith Lectures, on the subject of China, given by Professor Jonathan Spence. Each of the lectures will be available after broadcast to listen again or download.

Let's tentatively set our Lecture schedules as follows,

(Each lecture will be one hour speech, 30 minutes break and another one hour free discussion. The speeches will be taped,)

Lecture 1:

Oct. 14, 1400-1630 at CSQ, Taipei

Lecture 2::

Oct. 16, 1900-2130 at Tunghai University

Lecture 3:

Oct. 17, 1200-1200 at Tunghai University

Please prepare the transcripts of three lectures by the early September so that we can prepare a bilingual booklet for the friends and audience.

Please also prepare your resume and your introduction to the lecture.
