Creating a long lasting effective Malcolm Baldrige model is what an organization should address, not a “I passed the test” event at some point in time. This approach to the Malcolm Baldrige model should be used either when pursuing achievement of the award or implementing the award concepts in an organization.
The Integrated Enterprise Excellence (IEE) business management system provides the framework for implementing the Malcolm Baldrige concepts so that they are long lasting.
Creating a Long Lasting Effective Malcolm Baldrige Model
Management must ask the right questions. The right questions lead to the wise use of statistical and non-statistical techniques to obtain knowledge from facts and data. Management needs to operate using the bromide: In God we trust; all others bring data. The book, The Integrated Enterprise Excellence System, describes how to operate with a knowledge-centered activity focus, which can redirect businesses so that efforts are more productive. Organizations can have success using the Malcolm Baldrige Award criteria, Lean Six Sigma, or some other methodology. However, these techniques do not provide a basic high-level business framework that provides whole, long-lasting benefits to the enterprise system.
The IEE 9-step system can provide the long-lasting infrastructure for implementing a Malcolm Baldrige model.
