Baldrige National Quality Program National Examiner Questions2009Harry Hertz Responses
Question 1 • Further clarification of “performance projections” vs “goals” • Inclusion of goals in results category – why are they not included in the evaluation? • Why are projections expected for all measures in all scoring ranges? • Why are projections not in the Results Criteria?
Question 2 • Why don’t we align results items with process items? Currently 1.1 is aligned with 7.6 instead of being aligned with 7.1. Question 3 • Without comparisons, how do you interpret levels? Without a point of reference, how can an Examiner understand a “level”?
Question 4 • How are key themes assessed (from applicant’s perspective)? Question 5 • How do we evaluate applicants that are part of a larger system? For example an applicant might say that they use a process established by the system for which they are a part.
Question 6 • Why don’t we ask applicants to define/describe their work system(s), e.g., in 6.1.a.1, “What is/are your work system(s)?” Question7 • Clarify the difference between work systems and work processes. There appears to be overlap and the category is labeled process management.
