From the Introduction:
 
"First: Our approach is focused on the pursuit of quality as
taught to us by Dr. W. Edwards Deming, the founder of the new
economic and industrial era. 
 
Second: Our approach relies heavily on the understanding and
application of data.  These data-based methods--which we call the
scientific approach--draw from the discipline of statistics and
classical logic, which characterize Dr. Deming's teachings.
 
Third: We include methods for the formation and maintenance of groups, the 
planning and managing of projects, and the design and conduct of meetings. 
These approaches we have learned from Malcolm Knowles and other contributors 
to the field of group and organizational dynamics."
