We also feel that we can improve quality as well. Continuous improvement is based on the Deming model of Plan, Do, Check, Act. The hard part is planning, because that is where we must recognize an opportunity to improve the product. Remember, however, that we have good people, human resources is our strength.

BKD has learned this lesson from previous experience that put them in bankruptcy court. While implementing changes that will allow BKD to grow, the change managers and other managers within the company are setting a sustainable pace, one that the associates can grasp the change before others are thrown at them.

Even though they remain controversial, state content standards have emerged as the most common way to meet this mandate. Regardless of our views about the future of the standards, one fact remains: there is definitely a higher content standards movement in U.S. education.
