What drives success in high performing organizations? Learn how role model organizations of all sectors and sizes have achieved outstanding results by using the newly released 2019-20 Baldrige Excellence Framework.  

For more than 30 years, the Baldrige Excellence Framework has empowered organizations to accomplish their missions, improve results, and become more competitive. The Baldrige Excellence Framework includes the Criteria for Performance Excellence, core values and concepts, and guidelines for evaluating your processes and results. 

Join former national Baldrige judge and international expert, Steve Hoisington in Madison February 27-28, 2019 for an interactive "deep dive" into the Baldrige Framework. Optimize your understanding of the Framework, and learn to successfully apply the Criteria for Performance Excellence in your organization. Group pricing is available.

Space is limited and we expect the two-day seminar to fill quickly.  Visit our registration page to learn more about Steve Hoisington, and how to reserve your seat.  Each participant will receive a copy of the Framework, a $30 value.
