The Six Added Values of the Baldrige Process
When visiting with senior leaders of an organization about the value of embarking on a Baldrige journey, a frequently used phrase is "It's not about the Award." At that point, the discussion moves to writing an application, and the sense of leaders is that "We're applying for an Award!"

To "hardwire" means much the same thing as "systematic." These prescriptive tools have been shown to lead to improved results. Read More
