“Baldrige Award Winning Quality by Mark Graham Brown delivers perception into what the Baldrige examiners are looking for and consider ‘best in class.’ Moreover; the examples of what other companies are doing are important by providing ideas to deliberate within your own company ― almost a mini-benchmark opportunity. Designs for how to best present your information are helpful and can be used in an everyday organization and tracking of services and processes..”
