Tech Editing
Welcome technical editors! Thank you for contributing your expertise to this step in the award process.
As a technical editor, you will ensure that the content of one or more Consensus Review Scorebooks is correct. The scorebook is then checked for grammar and style. The end result is a feedback report for an award applicant—a key customer product of the Baldrige Performance Excellence Program.
In the right-hand column are links to several tech-editing tools. These job aids and the e-learning module “Tech Editor Preparation: A Refresher” serve as a review of the tech editor preparation course offered in April / May.
Reminder: Feedback comments should consist of
- A concise opening sentence that expresses a single thought—the “nugget”
- One or two examples
- The relevance or importance of the nugget to the applicant
