Get Acquainted with the Criteria for Performance Excellence
April 21 | 8:30am – Noon CST
What is Baldrige and how can we get started? Understand the basics of the Criteria framework and different options for getting started. You will understand:
- How you are already doing many things aligned with the key concepts underpinning the Criteria
- How the Organizational Profile can identify your organization’s key factors
- How a quick self-assessment can get your leaders started using the Criteria
- How the scoring guidelines define stages in the refinement of a process
- How to benchmark with Baldrige award recipients
This workshop is recommended for leaders who want to begin using the Criteria.
Building Your Organization’s Operating Model for Performance Excellence
May 6 | 8:30am – Noon CST
How do we make Baldrige and the IMEC Award process work for us? Understand why some organizations struggle in their improvement journey and learn a systematic approach to build your customized operating model for excellence. You will learn:
- How to make Baldrige relevant to leaders by using the Criteria as a blueprint to design your key systems/processes
- How to increase the impact of this work on your organization by starting your journey with the foundational systems
- How to ensure accountability for systems improvement and avoid the “Baldrige is extra” problem
- How to make application writing more manageable and prepare for site visits
- How to use the feedback report to further refine your operating model
- What else is needed for your organization to achieve and sustain excellence
This workshop is recommended for leaders of organizations who are beginning their journey or want to accelerate it.
