Baldrige and EFQM Excellence International: Bahrain

Simply stated, I believe the popularity and value of my assessments, training and consulting is due to the effective sharing of what I have learned from assessing several of the world's best organizations. I have assessed seventeen national and international excellence award winners (Baldrige and EFQM) since 2007 - far more than anyone else.

I made 18 visits and worked 28 weeks in the Middle East since early 2006 and it has become a second home for me since first working in Bahrain in 2000. Please enjoy these photos from Bahrain and many other special Middle East photos and excellence resources below.
