The Research Seminar will bring together people from around the world, and from a variety of specialties, to enhance and extend management thinking.
The day one the keynote plenary speaker will be world renowned economist and strategist Vladimir Kvint, Ph.D. In the late 1980’s, Dr. Kvint gained fame when he accurately predicted the fall of the Soviet Union. He is currently the President of the International Academy of Emerging Markets and his studies have focused on strategy and quantitative analysis of the Global Emerging Market and solutions to poverty. He is the author of 21 books and more than 350 articles, is a contributor to Forbes and is an advisor to the governments of several emerging market countries. Among Dr. Kvint's achievements is the Theory of the Global Emerging Market; the system of optimization models of business strategies in emerging markets and the development of economic solutions to poverty, unemployment and migration.

Andrew McKeon, the keynote speaker on day two, has been applying systems thinking throughout his career in engineering and business. He is a sought after advisor and speaker to corporations, universities, NASA, and the United Nations on the need for change in corporate management to accomplish a sustainable economy in the 21st century. Andrew will address how skillful management, informed by Deming's ideas, can accomplish this transformation in his presentation, “Thinking About Management from a Climate Change Perspective.” McKeon reaffirms Dr. Deming’s ideas are alive, well and extremely relevant to solving the big problems of American business, society and the world.

Presenters will show how to use Deming’s ideas to manage ethical behavior in organizations, provide evidence in legal cases, integrate organizational culture, and to change marketing efforts.
Others will link Dr. Deming’s writings to the works of Chris Argyris, Walter Shewhart, and other great thinkers. One will review press and publication quotes of Deming’s work; another will show applications of Deming’s ideas to current economic conditions.
Sustainability and social responsibility are topics suggestive of our times. Several business models will be shared, along with applications of Deming’s ideas to healthcare, county government, transportation, manufacturing, quality of laws of government, and service organizations.
Some presenters will focus on ranking of instructors by students, the role of performance appraisal, loss of joy in work, application of systems thinking, making strategic choices using statistical tools, assurance of learning individually and as a corporate community, transforming the talk of quality to the walk of quality, restoring the individual, transition and transformation ... with time for discussions on all of the topics!
