Baldrige - EFQM Excellence International: Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE)

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.

My first ties to Dubai include conducting a joint EFQM and Baldrige Best Practices Seminar. The interest of the participants from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, and Bahrain led to several enjoyable consulting experiences in the Middle East since that seminar. The photo below was taken at that first eventful seminar
