Excellence on Tap is the theme of the 2020 Baldrige Fall Conference. This popular live streamed conference features presentations from national and state Baldrige Award recipients sharing their proven performance management practices and real-world insights of resilience and agility in the face of COVID-19, in addition to other powerful presenters from healthcare, service, education, government, manufacturing, and small business. Plus we plan to have a little fun as well. A full conference schedule will be released soon.
These unprecedented times have called for agility and resilience in response to the huge shifts in our lives and organizations. Baldrige winners rose to the challenge. Hear and learn from their stories.
