Henry Neave is a British business theorist, management consultant, statistician, and writer.
He lectured at his alma mater, The University of Nottingham, from 1963 until 1996, and later served as the W. Edwards Deming Professor of Leadership and Management in the Business School of the Nottingham Trent University until his retirement at the end of 2004.[1]
In 1985 W Edwards Deming requested Neave to assist him at his four-day seminar in London, his first in Britain. Neave would go on to assist Deming at these seminars in each subsequent year until Deming's death in 1993.[2] In 1987 Neave founded the British Deming Association[3].
In 1990 his book The Deming Dimension was first published, regarded as the best introduction to the Deming Philosophy[4], and to which Deming himself wrote the foreword. Predating Deming's final work, The New Economics for Industry, Government, Education, it is the first published work to reference Deming's System of Profound Knowledge.
In 2001, Neave received the American Society for Quality's Deming Medal.[5]
Following his retirement, Neave created 12 Days to Deming, a freely-available course that serves as an in-depth introduction to Dr. Deming's philosophy and guidance.
