  33. Key Factors topics • Role and importance of the Organization Profile • What are Key Factors? • Role of Key Factors in the assessment process

  34. Organization profile • Introductory section of the Criteria and the application • WSQA criteria requires applicant to complete the entire Baldrige profile • Applicant describes • Organizational environment • Organizational relationships • Competitive environment • Strategic context • Performance improvement system

  35. Organizational profile • Not evaluated or scored as are categories • Examiners use as a basis for evaluation • What do we need to know and understand about the applicant? • What’s important to the applicant? • Applicant can use as an initial self-assessment to identify gaps/conflicts in knowledge • Evaluation: How well does the applicant address its Key Factors?

  36. What is a “Key Factor”? • “Significant attributes of an organization that influence the way the organization operates” • Facts about the organization and key strategic decisions made that shape the organization

  37. What is a “Key Factor”? • Examples • Mission, vision, and values • Employee/staff profile • Customer and market segments and customer requirements • Competitive position and critical success factors • Strategic challenges • Governance structure • These are all key factors because they are facts or attributes that affect the way the organization operates.

  38. What is a “Key Factor”? • Non-examples • Complaint management process • Strategic planning approach • These are not key factors; rather, they are processes that the applicant uses in managing its work

  39. How to identify key factors • Responses to the Organizational Profile • Responses to the Criteria Items—it is important to consider key factors wherever they are found in the application. • Eligibility forms

  40. Key Factor Format • Not full sentences • No need to specify “the applicant” • First word is Bold • Example: Workforce: 1500 ees, 80% technical, 20% administrative, 30% minority, 25% work remotely

  41. Exercise 1: Key Factors You will need: • Flip chart and marker • Case study application • Criteria Steps: • For assigned Section of the Organization Profile, identify 2-3 key factors • Review Key factors in the Case Study Scorebook for your section to see identify similarities.

  44. Read the application • Begin Analysis of the Response • Which questions are the applicant answering? • Which evaluation factors [Approach, Deployment, Learning, Integration] are present in the response? • Make notes on your findings • Sticky notes, highlighter, comments in the margins • Identify any results that could be generated by the activity and reported in Category 7 • If you find misplaced information (key factors, responses to other criteria items), put references to those responses in the appropriate section of the applicants response

  45. Independent review • Select the most relevant Key Factors (from list) • Read the criteria for the category • Read (and annotate) the relevant section of the application • Identify and record the applicant’s processes • Record observations.

  46. Draft around six strengths and opportunities for improvement

  47.
