Editor’s note: This four-part video interview with Juran Institute CEO Joseph DeFeo is hosted by Quality Digest’s CEO, Jeff Dewar. The series will run weekly beginning with today’s segment.

You can’t have a conversation about quality management without soon invoking the name “Dr. Juran.” The man was a titan. During the late 1990s, PBS produced An Immigrant’s Gift, a documentary about Joseph M. Juran’s life, where industry heavyweights such as Peter Drucker, Genichi Taguchi, Eizo Watanabe, Steve Jobs, and Robert Galvin profiled the quality pioneer and his effect on worldwide quality.

Our publishers, our editor-in-chief, and our staff editors have all written about Juran. We flew to his Connecticut home to interview him, we attended his 100th birthday celebration, and we honored his life when he passed away in 2008.

A google search of the term “Juran” yields 3.9 million results. A search using the term “Juran” within our website alone returns 651 results. One of my favorite articles was a cover story we ran in August 2002. What a timeless piece!
