Excellence India

Baldrige and EFQM excellence tools and resources for India from the most experienced source

Firstly, I need to thank the people of Tata who first invited me to India in 2002 and to several who have continued to use my services. Special thanks goes to Mr. Jaggu Jaganathan of Tata TCS (in photo below) who provided outstanding hospitality as head of TQMS. One memory that will endure is willingness of Tata to allow 12 of its best TQMS assessors to work with me with Telkom Indonesia.

The Baldrige, EFQM, Australian, 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 Dr. W. Edwards Deming and Dr. Armand (Val) Feigenbaum for seven years. Paul Steel

Baldrige Excellence Tools

(Available for the Business, Nonprofit - Public Sector, Education and Health Care Criteria in most cases)

Introducing: OrgProfiler. The Organizational Profile (OP) is the basis for all Baldrige assessments. It is a set of "What" questions designed to capture the key attributes of your organization and to guide the assessors by informing them who you are, what you do, and what is important to your success. Everything else in the application needs to be compatible and integrated with it. OrgProfiler ensures that you completely and correctly input the necessary information which automatically integrates to all key topics. Many organizations pay consultants tens of thousands of dollars to help them write their OP. OrgProfiler costs only $95 and there is no consultant who can outperform it.

Click to order OrgProfiler online or call 425 957-1921 to order and have it shipped via email. Visa and MasterCard orders ship immediately upon receipt of payment. Bonus: A Free upgrade to the 2011 - 2012 OrgProfiler is included. For more information, visit: Application Development.

Baldrige Excellence Consulting Services

(Available for the Business, Nonprofit - Public Sector, Education and Health Care Criteria in most cases)

Training: Most experienced Baldrige trainer - I have trained thousands more people in Self-Assessment than the Baldrige Award Program since 1988 using the same 3-day format and the same materials as Baldrige. CEUs, certification, and graduate university credit offered.
Application Development: Make your first draft your final draft using my experience, integrated Criteria Response Templates, and Baldrige Best Practice Process Models. Finish in about two weeks and not several months.
Assessment: Diligence, objectivity, an actionable feedback report, and unsurpassed experience since year one of the Baldrige Award Program. I have assessed more than 20 national Baldrige Criteria-based award winners since 2007 - no one else comes close. Breakthrough: If you use the interview assessment approach, there is no writing and the information captured can be used to generate the final draft of your application saving you months of painful writing.
Site Visit Preparation: Preparation guidance and simulation (mock site visit) - A Baldrige site visit should be a positive and fun experience for your organization. Knowing in advance what questions they will ask, what documentation they will request, who they will talk to, and where they will go is the key to success.
Going Beyond Baldrige: Baldrige Award winners only score about 600 out of 1,000 possible points. Scoring significantly above 800 is easier, faster and much less costly than continuously improving to 600 when you implement a Total Baldrige Integrated Excellence System. It is readily adaptable to all types of public sector, healthcare, education, and private sector organizations. Preserve your culture and everything that works in your existing processes. Only change the process steps that are not needed or not capable of delivering excellent performance. See illustration below or call 1 425 444-4386.

What big changes are in the new 2011 - 2012 Baldrige Criteria?

  • Will the Criteria become more 'entrepreneurial' in nature?

  • Will the number of Results Items in Category 7 be reduced from 6 to 4?

  • Will all the 'What' questions be relocated to the Organizational Profile? Will the Organizational Profile questions be linked to the Criteria to improve understanding consistency?

  • Will the Customer Focus and Workforce Focus Categories be rewritten to remove the perceived redundancies?

  • Will the confusion related to 'work processes' and 'work systems' be effectively addressed?

  • Do we really need two similar Items in Category 6?

  • Will a relationship hierarchy be established among the terms: 'data', 'information', and 'knowledge'?

  • Will we see a 'Manufacturing' version of the Criteria to bring the original loyalists back into the fold?

  • The 2009 - 2010 Criteria have more words than the original 1988 Criteria and more than double the words when you include the explanatory notes. The highly regarded Singapore Criteria are Baldrige-based but have deleted more than 3,000 words. Maybe it is time to downsize?

Check back soon for the answers? Or, email ToQual@gmail.com now to request the 2011 - 2012 Criteria be sent to you as soon as they become available.

The Baldrige Model

The graphic below depicts the Baldrige Model in terms of its key processes and systems.

Total Integrated Baldrige Excellence System

Baldrige Excellence Model

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.
