Good to be reminded about Deming's views on driving out fear.

I'm not sure I understand the concept of a "silent conspiracy" in the
context we are discussing? Can you clarify your thinking for me? This is
a very interesting thought? Are you talking about a mutual reluctance to
change things? Or something that is specific to certain organisational
cultures? Is this based on research you have done?
