My first ties to Dubai include conduction a joint EFQM and Baldrige Best Practice Process Models Seminar. The interest of the participants from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, and Bahrain led to more than 20 enjoyable consulting visits to the Middle East. The photo below was taken at that eventful seminar.

The Baldrige, EFQM, Singapore and other national excellence Criteria have opened up the world to me and have allowed me to enjoy visiting and learning about many cultures. Working with many of the best organizations in these great places has allowed me to learn how much about how they have achieved world-class excellence. This webpage celebrates these wonderful experiences with photos and more importantly shares what I have learned from assessing hundreds of organizations in more than 30 countries for over 20 years and also from working with quality gurus Dr. W. Edwards Deming and Dr. Armand (Val) Feigenbaum for seven years. Paul Steel

A new and improved approach to the old Baldrige Framework - from the perspective of its systems and processes
A Total Integrated Excellence System
Each process in the Total Baldrige Integrated Excellence System is actually a core process that has been updated using knowledge gained from hundreds of assessments of public and private sector and health care and education Criteria users worldwide. These core processes are the 'best of the best'. However, the best processes in the world are useless unless you and your colleagues can accept and implement them. I have 30 years of experience in facilitating implementation of processes and systems while preserving the culture and special needs of various sizes and types of organizations. It is much easier to do than most people think. The key to success is to replace the core of your existing processes which are not capable of best-in-class performance with a best practice core processes. This allows you to preserve everything that works well, everything important to your success, your culture, and everything you are already the expert in.
The core process approach enables organizations to accelerate their overall rate of improvement beyond today's continuous improvement and Business Excellence approaches.
Replacing incapable core processes with highly capable ones causes a shift in your improvement rate from gradual to breakthrough. I can do this for you for any process or system in the graphic or I can teach you how to do it. Please contact me and I will be pleased to discuss this with you and/or visit with you.
I have made 24 work visits to the Middle East since early 2006 and it has become a second home for me since first working in Bahrain in 1999.
Enjoy the photos from organizations in some of the more than 30 countries that have invited me to contribute to their pursuit of excellence
