Baldrige and Systems Perspective

Evidence in the Form of Criteria Changes Appear to Show Baldrige Distancing Itself from a Systems Perspective

Systems Perspective is a Baldrige Core Value. So, you would think that Baldrige would ensure its Assessment Criteria support it. However, the opposite appears to be true based on the changes in the current Baldrige Criteria" which DELETE most core systems perspective elements that have been in the Criteria since the award originated in 1988.

List of Systems Perspective core elements recently deleted from the Baldrige Criteria:

• Systems Design

• Systems Management

• Systems Improvement

• Systems Innovation

• Systems Implementation

• Systems Cost Control

• Systems Sustainability
