The world is a never-ending supply of problems. Solve one and another comes along. The name red bead is a metaphor for the problems that we experience every day in our life. In 1982, working with the noted consultant Dr. W. Edwards Deming a teaching tool called the RED BEAD Experiment was created that Dr. Deming used in his world wide seminars for almost a decade. When you play the game, each player uses a special metal paddle to draw small red and white colored beads from a large bowl. Each draw of the paddle gets 50 beads. Some are white and some are red. The white beads symbolize the good things that we experience each day as we do our work and the red beads symbolize the problems or bad things that we experience. There are many teaching examples as you play the game. One is that "Willing Worker" has little control over the RED BEAD problems. If management is not happy with the results, they dare NOT blame the worker, they need to change or improve the system.

Cupertino, CA (PRWEB) September 24, 2007 -- Now companies and organizations have a video based quick-reference guide on the fundamentals behind Six Sigma and Total Quality Management programs. Entitled Learn to Live the Talk - Beyond Total Quality Management, this 38 minute video has just been released on DVD and is available from Amazon.com.


Based on the famous Dr. Deming RED BEAD Experiment, this DVD is an insightful learning tool that points out how absurd and ineffective that many traditional management styles are; and, how unproductive the workplace is when the basic system is flawed. No matter how you try to ignore it, by painting those RED BEADS white or blaming problems on the employees, a faulty system is an unproductive one.

There are many teaching examples as you play the game. "The Willing Worker has little control over the RED BEAD problems in a company. If management is not happy with the results, they dare NOT blame the worker, they need to change or improve the system." These teachings are presented in numerous text books, newspapers, magazine articles and other video programs.
