Who we are
We appreciate your interest in our efforts to foster "thinking about thinking," which we see as the foundation for thinking, learning, and working together. Our non-profit, fully volunteer organization, was formed in 2001 by a group of students of the work of W. Edwards Deming and related theorists. Through a history of hosting an annual 4-day, 5-day, as well as 6-day Forum, and now a 2.5-day Forum (beginning in 2025), our aim is to make thinking about sub-systems, variation, knowledge, and psychology, and their many interactions - which comprises Deming's “System of Profound KnowledgeTM" (SoPK) - more conscious. We believe that such thinking about thinking, which we call InThinking, will allow people to better perceive relationships and interdependencies in human endeavors, across all industries, extending to education systems and our government. By improving how we think together, learn together, and work together, we see vast opportunities for making all of our endeavors more valuable, more satisfying, and more joyful.
Beginning in 2002 and pausing in 2017, our Forum Team has designed and hosted annual Forums, ranging in length from 4 days to 6 days and now, beginning in 2025, 2.5 days in length. Along the way, we've hosted between 60 and 210 attendees every year, from across the United States, with European participation sometimes as high as 20 attendees.
