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.[citation needed]
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.[1]
In 1987 Neave founded the British Deming Association, and in 1990 his book The Deming Dimension was published, to which Deming himself wrote the foreword. In 2001, he received the American Society for Quality's Deming Medal
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.
