How I obtained Profound Knowledge and Transformational Leading:

Profound Knowledge, PRK, is the nucleus knowledge for transformation of enterprises and a country. It “relates” to my education at METU. During the consultation about productivity, I learned myself PRK in very different manner. The related techniques (known as Toyota Production Techniques, TPS, widely) and operational research-statistical-mathematical techniques of consultation also depends on my education in very different manner also. Scientifically, it affects all the other scientific fields and professions. Classical science and management science approach given at universities to us lead the human beings, public-private enterprises, countries to “death valleys”.  

So I recognized that education about PRK is absent and not known from my education years to nowadays at universities and other related entities. So I have “master of science” about PRK leading transformation of a country and enterprises from the point of top view.
