Our Thanks
"If we can see clearly it is because we are standing on the shoulders of giants"
Bernard of Chartres – circa 12th Century
At BigFish we believe that we should respect the hard work and dedication of those generations of individuals that have gone before us, without whom we would not know what we know!
We’d like to credit the originators of all the concepts that we reference, but the reality of doing that would mean spending most of our time researching the origins of ideas! And that is not our purpose.
Therefore, we will make every effort to reference material when we know who and where ideas came from, but will omit references when it is not immediately apparent. Material will be referenced by request of the originator and or from a request by a member of the BigFish Community.
Finally! In recognition of many of the conceptual ideas used on this site we pay homage to the following (in no particular order):
W. Edwards Deming
Taichi Ohno
Walter Shewart
Frederick Winslow Taylor
This list will be added to as we progress...
