The Baldrige, EFQM, Singapore and other national
excellence Criteria have opened up the world to me and have allowed me
to enjoy visiting and learning about many cultures. Working with many of
the best organizations in these great places has allowed me to learn how
much about how they have achieved world-class excellence. This webpage
celebrates these wonderful experiences with photos and more importantly
shares what I have learned from assessing hundreds of organizations in
more than 30 countries for over 20 years and also from working with
quality gurus

Dr. Armand (Val) Feigenbaum for seven years. Paul

Please click on the links and photos below to see some of the many interesting

A new and improved approach to the old Baldrige Framework -
from the perspective of its systems and processes
A Total Integrated Excellence System
Each process in the Total Baldrige Integrated Excellence
System is actually a core process that has been updated using
knowledge gained from hundreds of assessments of public and private sector and
health care and education Criteria users worldwide. These core processes
are the 'best of the best'. However, the best processes in the world
are useless unless you and your colleagues can accept and implement them. I have
30 years of experience in facilitating implementation of processes and systems
while preserving the culture and special needs of various sizes and types of
organizations. It is much easier to do than most people think. The key to
success is to replace the core of your existing processes which are not capable
of best-in-class performance with a best practice core processes. This
allows you to preserve everything that works well, everything important to your
success, your culture, and everything you are already the expert in.
Replacing incapable core processes with highly
capable ones causes a shift in your improvement rate from gradual to
breakthrough. I can do this for you for any process or system in the graphic or
I can teach you how to do it. Please contact me and I will be pleased to discuss
this with you or visit with you.
