New Video Explains Why It is Important and How to Use It http://www.prweb.com/releases/redbead/experiment/prweb551530.htm 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. (PRWeb Sep 25, 2007)
