Visualizing Insightful Possibilities to Make Work Better: An Introduction to Baldrige -- April 21 Prior Lake Workshop

The Performance Excellence Network is pleased to announce a powerful half-day workshop: Visualizing Insightful Possibilities to Make Work Better: An Introduction to Baldrige, April 21 afternoon in Prior Lake, MN.  This is a pre-conference workshop before the PENworks 2020 conference, but it is open to anyone (you don't have to have attended the conference to benefit from the insights!).  It will be facilitated by Mike Gratz of Advance Advisors and Dave Brucks of Entegris.

Participants will explore ways to make work better using the Baldrige Criteria. Make your work better; make your team’s work better; make your organization’s work better.  This workshop helps you at every level by using the Criteria to align on what you do, why you do it, and how you get it done. Using a series of 30-minute exercises, you will develop your thinking on what is key and end the workshop more aligned in your work.  If you are new to Baldrige, this is a great way to explore the Framework and Criteria and to enhance your PENworks conference experience!

Approach: Highly interactive, combining individual work with team report out and discussions. Using Baldrige winning organization examples to establish what good looks like for each exercise and key component.

Value: Each participant will have an opportunity to develop thinking specific to their organization/work on the key components presented.  Increase their personal network with peers having similar business challenges.  Even if your organization is not officially using Baldrige as its management and improvement system, you'll find ways to optimize your resources, improve your outcomes, and accelerate your improvement efforts.

The workshop is Tuesday, April 21 from 1:00-5:00 at Mystic Lake Conference Center in Prior Lake, MN.
