Baldrige Framework Seminar
with Dr. Mark Blazey

Tuesday, January 26: 8:00 am Registration; 8:30 am - 5:00 pm Seminar

Wednesday, January 27: 8:00 am - 4:00 pm Seminar

This seminar is designed to help leaders, performance excellence examiners and organization improvement practitioners to understand and apply the 2015-16 Baldrige Framework and Performance Excellence Criteria, as well as the linkages and relationships among the Framework elements.

Organizational assessments based on the 2015 -16 Baldrige Framework and Performance Excellence Criteria are used for learning and improvement. Much like an annual health physical, this tool helps leaders and managers better understand what is working well and on what they should be focusing their improvement efforts. Assessments also are effective at helping communicate priorities with various stakeholders and with monitoring progress over time.

The real value of an assessment is its ability to improve performance – to improve outcomes and drive tangible organizational results.

Attending a Blazey Seminar is a great first step in using this powerful assessment tool in your organization!
