Baldrige

The Baldrige framework is based on core values and concepts thatrepresent beliefs and behaviors found in high-performing organizations:

With the Baldrige framework, you evaluate and improve your processes along four dimensions:

Approach: How systematic are your key processes?
Deployment: How consistently are your key processes used throughout your organization?
Learning: Have you evaluated and improved your key processes? Have improvements been shared within your organization?
Integration: How do your processes address your current and future organizational needs?

You evaluate your results along four dimensions:

Levels: What is your current performance?
Trends: Are the results improving, staying the same, or getting worse?
Comparisons: How does your performance compare with that of other organizations or with benchmarks?
Integration: Are you tracking results that are important to your organization? Are you using the results in organizational decision making?
