Baldrige International: Italy

Dr. Curt Reimann (First Director of the Baldrige National Quality Award) serves as Overseer to Paul Steel's 2008 international Baldrige site visit team.

Italy has always been a special place for me to work. I have lived in Milan for 18 months of my life. It was here where I began my consulting career in 1981. The two-year project involved assessing, developing, gaining acceptance, and implementing a Total Quality Management System with Fiat / Alfa Romeo and Pirelli. I worked for Dr. Armand Feigenbaum from whom I learned more than when I worked with Dr. Edwards Deming.

Dr. Irene Mia (Milan), Senior Economist, Global Competitiveness Network, World Economic Forum with Paul Steel (November 2006)

I had no idea that my first consulting assignment in Italy would lead to meeting and working with many more enjoyable international experiences with some of the top years as a management consultant globally as you can see in this list:
