I have always enjoyed a warm welcome from friends in Singapore especially those involved with SPRING. The Baldrige Criteria represented an innovative breakthrough when I was honored to be part of launching their use in 1988. However, Singapore has taken that innovation to new levels and is widely admired for their achievements worldwide. I participated in the SPRING Singapore Quality Award (SQA) as an international assessor where I learned much more about Singapore's benchmark use of their prestigious excellence and innovation Criteria. The photos on this page show some of the special events I have had the honor of participating in while in Singapore and also some of the special places.

Serving as the International Assessor on SQA teams in 2008, 2010 and 2011 has been very enjoyable and fulfilling (2010 team shown above).

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 Dr. W. Edwards Deming and Dr. Armand (Val) Feigenbaum for seven years. Paul Steel

The Baldrige Management Model

A new and improved approach to the old Baldrige Framework - from the perspective of its systems and processes

BALDRIGE FRAMEWORK SYSTEMS - 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.

The core process approach enables organizations to accelerate their overall rate of improvement beyond today's continuous improvement and Business Excellence approaches.

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 and/or visit with you.
