Excellence International: Qatar

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 twelve national and international excellence award winners (Baldrige and EFQM) since 2007 - far more than anyone else. More than the valuable knowledge I gain from this insight, I enable participants to actually use what they learn when they return to their organization. I do this by demonstrating the tools they need and train them using simulated exercises. This includes demonstrating the best process management technology I developed and providing this technology at no extra charge. This tool guides any organization step-by-step to achieving world-class excellence.

I made 14 visits and worked 26 weeks in the Middle East since 20067 and it has become a second home for me since first working in Bahrain in 2000. Please enjoy these first two photos from Doha and many other special photos and excellence resources below.
