Why Consider a Baldrige Collaborative Assessment

This assessment against the Baldrige Excellence Framework and Criteria gives you timely, actionable feedback that you can begin using right away to improve your organization.

Here's how the assessment works:

You receive a 4 1/2-day site visit from a team of experienced national Baldrige examiners.
They work collaboratively with your leadership and staff to identify key strengths and opportunities across the six process categories of the Baldrige Criteria, using results to support the findings.
The end product is immediate feedback on your organization's areas of strength and opportunities for improvement, followed by a written feedback report.

Unlike the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award process, you don't need to write a 50-page application and you don't compete for an award.

__________________________________

This intensive, 5-day collaborative assessment was extremely well-planned, professionally staffed and organized, and artfully deployed. Numerous CWS staff members were able to be actively engaged…and all of the collaborators were extremely professional, knowledgeable, and helpful in their review and analysis of our organization relative to the Malcolm Baldrige criteria. The quality and usability of the formal feedback report was also outstanding and will serve as an invaluable prioritization tool for guiding CWS.
