The first lesson is that blaming the fallible individuals at the sharp-end is universal, natural, emotionally satisfying, and legally convenient.
Unfortunately, it has little or no remedial value.
On the contrary, blame focuses our attention on the last and probably the least remedial link in the accident chain: the person at the sharp end.
James T. Reason
1990’s
The prevailing style of management must undergo transformation. A system can not understand itself. The transformation requires a view from the outside. The aim of this chapter is to provide an outside view—a lens—that I call a system of profound knowledge. It provides a map of theory by which to understand the organization that we work in.

Instructions
1) I will show you a picture or a cartoon
2) You will help identify the Lens component from the picture.
3) Think a bit about the component and share some of Deming’s views of the component.
4) Use Lens in a very short case study.
first component
SYSTEMS
What do we know or believe about systems? What is in our system lens?
• A system is a network of interdependent components that work together to try to accomplish the aim of the system.
• The beginning of the system starts with the customer
• The obligation of any component is to contribute its best to the system, not to maximize its own …measures.
• If each part of a system, considered separately, decides to operate as efficiently as possible, then the system as a whole will not operate to maximum effectiveness.
• We should work on our processes, not the outcome of our processes….
second component
KNOWLEDGE
What do we know or believe about knowledge? What is in our knowledge or learning lens?
• Information is not knowledge
• Knowledge is built on theory
• Without theory there are no questions: Without questions there is no learning
• There is no such thing as a fact
• No number of examples establishes a theory, yet a single unexplained failure of a theory requires modification or even abandonment of the theory
• A statement devoid of rational prediction does not convey knowledge
third component
System Lens
PSYCHOLOGY
What do we know or believe about psychology? What is in our psychology or human interaction lens?
• People are different from one
another. A manager of people must be aware of these difference, and use them for optimization of everybody's abilities and inclinations. This is not ranking ..
• Merit awards and ranking are demoralizing. Rewards motivate people to work for rewards.
• Some extrinsic motivation helps to build self-esteem. But total submission to extrinsic motivation leads to destruction of the individual.
Forces of destructions (New Economics p.122)
Life begins Life ends
Extrinsic motivation
• Gradually replaces intrinsic motivation
• Competition and recognition drives actions
• Focus on the Individual not the System
• Problems attributed to Individuals not System
• Resignation to external pressure - demotivational
Intrinsic motivation
Curiosity Cooperation
Joy in Learning Self esteem Dignity
fourth component
Variation exists……

VARIATION
• Variation Exists!
• Common cause variation is always present • Common causes tend to be numerous • Common cause variation is produced by the
aggregate of the variation in all the variables. It is also known as: random variation, chance variation, or unassignable cause of variation
• Special causes are not present at all times • Special cause is in addition to common cause • Special cause is produced by a non-typical
variable. Special causes are also known as assignable and non-random
• Mistake 1. To react to an outcome as if it came from a special cause , when actually it came from a common cause.
• Mistake 2. To treat an outcome as if it came from common causes of variation, when actually it came from a special cause.
What do we know or believe about variation? What is in our theory of variation lens?
Why?
The central problem of management in all aspects including planning, procurement, manufacturing,
research, sales, personnel, accounting is to understand better the meaning of … and to extract
the information contained in variation Dr. Lloyd Nelson

The lens of profound knowledge supports reflection, critical reflection, and critical self reflection which is necessary for learning and transformation.
• What is the contribution or influence of
the system? (system)
• What issue/s related to relationships, interactions, or motivation are evident? (psychology)
• What type of variation is evident? How did or how should that knowledge influence behavior or decision/s? (variation)
• What theories are evident? What questions were asked? What predictions were made or might be made for the future? (knowledge)

Case Study
Another air traffic controller suspended for sleeping April 16, 2011
Another air traffic controller suspended for sleeping April 16, 2011
• The Federal Aviation Administration suspended Saturday yet another air traffic controller for sleeping on the job, the seventh apparent incident this year the agency has disclosed.
• Last week, Hank Krakowski resigned as the head of the FAA Air Traffic Organization amid revelations that several controllers fell asleep on the job this year.
• All the incidents occurred during the midnight shifts, but the similarity ends there. Some occurred at local control towers, one occurred at a regional radar facility and the latest at a high-altitude center.
• In at least one incident, the FAA has said the controller deliberately went to sleep, while some of the others appear to have been accidental.
• Prior to the start of the midnight shift at the Miami facility, all the controllers were given a briefing on professionalism and the importance of reporting to work fit for duty, the FAA said.
• The controller who fell asleep has been suspended, the agency said.

“The individuals who are falling asleep on the job, that’s unacceptable. The fact is, when you’re responsible for the lives and safety of people up in the air, you better do your job. So, there’s an element of individual responsibility that has to be dealt with.”

Lens Questions
Air Traffic Controllers Sleeping on the Job: A Problem of Scheduling
• Controllers often bounce from morning shifts, to afternoon, to night shifts, leaving little time for the body to adjust.
• Fatigue experts like Philip Gehrman, director of the Behavior Sleep Program at the University of Pennsylvania, said it is crucial that their shifts remain more constant.
– "It would be nice if there were a greater appreciation that our bodies have a limit -- we're not equally able to function at all hours of a 24-hour day," Gehrman said.
Other contributors…
• Controller fatigue is obviously a major factor…. the FAA implemented changes to scheduling practices that will allow controllers more time for rest between shifts.
• For decades, even predating the 1981 air traffic controller strike, controllers themselves have had the last word on the schedules they work.
• One of the most popular is called 2-2-1:, two day shifts, and one midnight shift.. Such a schedule disrupts circadian rhythms, creating fatigue on the midnight shift…...But controllers and their union have fought to keep 2-2-1 because it gives them a three-day weekend afterwards.
• The other cause of fatigue on midnight shifts is black backgrounds on controller display screens, which require dark rooms for best visibility. It is now common international practice to have light gray background screen displays that can be used in high-light environments, but in the U.S. we've all but ignored this advancement.
• The FAA has tolerated 2-2-1 schedules and dark control rooms for decades. Why? Because the Air Traffic Organization, whose job is to "move air traffic safely and efficiently," is within the FAA, which in effect means the agency is regulating itself.
