EFQM and Baldrige Best Practices Workshop Seminar
(Dubai, United Arab Emirates - UAE)

The EFQM Excellence Model and the Baldrige Framework Criteria have several differences but the key processes they address are very similar. In Dubai, Paul Steel (far left in photo) introduced a total integrated systems management approach for effectively improving organizations using both types of Criteria. His efforts have led to strong consulting relationships with key organizations in several Middle Eastern countries. Paul made eight trips to the Middle East last year where he worked 18 weeks.  Paul will conduct another seminar in Dubai later in 2008. Please contact him for details.
