Advancing Performance Excellence: Baldrige 201 

Join us for a powerful — and completely redesigned — workshop: Advancing Performance Excellence: Baldrige 201, April 21 and April 28 (both 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM CT), online.

Baldrige 201 builds off of Baldrige 101 (Principles of Performance Excellence, which next offered in June, by exploring deeper the Baldrige Framework and the Baldrige Criteria for Performance Excellence.

This workshop is HIGHLY recommended for Wisconsin Forward  Award examiners, but it is open to all leaders and professionals wanting to learn more about how Baldrige can improve outcomes, optimize results, and promote better alignment in any organization.

The Baldrige framework provides a systems perspective for continuous improvement and advancing performance excellence. The Baldrige “Criteria for Performance Excellence” reflects the leading edge of validated management practice, against which any organization can measure itself to identify and prioritize improvement opportunities.

The workshop will explore:

• the Baldrige Criteria at a deeper level, helping attendees understand the roughly 270 questions within Baldrige (each representing a process and each representing a best practice of high performing organizations)
• the  Baldrige Scoring Guidelines, which represent a maturity rubric that helps leaders better understand their organization’s strengths and improvement opportunities
• how to identify key factors within any organization – those environmental factors that organizations must understand and/or be responsive to in order to ensure high performance
• the fundamentals of evaluation, including identifying strengths and improvement opportunities against the Baldrige Criteria, writing feedback comments, evaluating results/outcomes (for Evaluators, additional on-line modules will go into more depth on each of these topics).

Facilitators are Jean Bronk of Mortenson Construction, retired), Nancy Hoglund (Hoglund Coaching), Brian Lassiter (Performance Excellence Network president), and other WCPE/PEN volunteers.

The workshop is split into two half days: April 21 & 28, both 8:00AM to 12:00PM CT.

Cost for the two half-days is $325 for WCPE members ($650 for non-members). Discounts available for teams of 3-4 from the same organization registering at the same time ($300) as well as teams of 5+ ($275).  Members should contact us for the discount codes.
