“We are tuned as consumers to expecting that new is best...the old is out, the new is in. And so it goes for management approaches. Is quality in or out? Is reengineering better than quality? Critical SHIFT presents us with a more useful view; one of transition and evolution. It guides in an evolutionary journey through past, present, and future management approaches, building as we go, toward even better methods.”

The information and insights offered led me to a deeper level of self-examination and helped shed some light on important personal questions. The Starburst Model™ ...helped me synthesize my thoughts into a coherent picture of how the various pieces of the quality integration puzzle fit.”
