Get an immediate profile in less than a day of your gaps, conflicted content, and non-integrated content by simply inputting your key response content. Your consultant can't match the results but they will bill you several days to try.

In the Baldrige spirit of breakthrough improvement, several new features have been added including:

• Instructions and examples to facilitate content inputting.

• Term-by-term links to the same definitions the Examiners use to assess.

• 'Cut and Paste' from your existing document

• Technical support is included for one year

• Total integration via hyperlinks with all versions of the Baldrige Criteria

• Total integration via hyperlinks to all versions of the Baldrige Glossary of terms

• Total integration via hyperlinks to all versions of the Baldrige Core Values

• Total integration with all versions of the Baldrige Scoring Guidelines

Benefits include:

• Cost: At only $295, you can get better results than you can get from the best Baldrige consultants at a fraction of the cost.

• Real-Time: If you are writing and award application, all team members writing responses have real-time access to the latest information. This saves an immense amount of rework and ensures that conflicting information is not used.

• Criteria understanding: Ensures that different Category teams/team members are not using different definitions for terms such as, 'core competencies', 'sustainability', 'innovation', or even 'customers'.

• Savings: The time to capture, analyze, organize, and present application information is reduced dramatically. Each team can usually input and validate their work in less than a day.

• Using a consultant? This tool allows you to assess their performance too . . . it's only fair!

• Total Integration: Integration is the only assessment scoring dimension common to all seven Baldrige Categories. It is often the most difficult to effectively address . . . not any more.

• Focus: Designed to extract the right information from your subject matter experts so they do not waste their time on what they think should go in the application but which may often not be adding value.

• Refinement: Nearly twenty years of user feedback ensures ongoing calibration to user needs

Successful:

• Used for almost twenty years by dozens of national Baldrige Award winners as well as dozens more state and international winners.

• More importantly, thousands of organizations that have never applied for an award have used it to assess their progress in achieving excellence.

• A two-time national Baldrige winner is currently using it to try to become the first to win three times.

All new for 2012: 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 $95 and there is no consultant who can outperform it.
