Find the problem....Fix the
problem...Cut costs
Repetitive
problems impact customers, end users, employees,
competitiveness and profitibility. The risks
associated with repeat problems has significantly
increased. The identification of problems in most
companies is more rigorous but the ability to
solve them has not improved at the same rate.
Instant communications in the market today can
make a new product or service an instant "hit" but
that same instant communication about "problems"
with a product or service can quickly wipe out
that success.

QUALITY TEAM EFFORTS
The
Mid-South Quality and Productivity Center
presents a Regional Quality Cup Award which
is aligned with the Baldrige Award Criteria and
the former RIT/USA Today Quality Cup Award. This
award honors individual teams (six categories)
that make exceptional contributions to their
employers' quality improvement programs. The
winning teams serve as regional and national role
models, encouraging others to accept principles
and practices that lead to continuous improvement
and customer satisfaction.
Awards
are made to individual teams in each of six
categories:
- educational
institutions
- government units and
agencies
- health care
organizations
- manufacturing firms
- service firms
- small businesses
Nominations
should be made in recognition of exemplary
customer service or for exceptionally valuable
improvements in a system or process for achieving
customer satisfaction.
Judges
include quality experts from consulting industry
and universities. In the first round of judging,
each nomination is read and scored by a pair of
Baldrige-trained judges. Consensus is reached by
an additional panel of Baldrige-trained
judges.
Nominees
will be provided with the judges' comments for
each of the judging criteria, but without
commentary or explanation.

Disciplines of Execution

the most important things you
can do as an individual, team
member or manager.
It drives performance by giving
team members a sense of
purpose and clarity of vision
Narrow the
number of truly important
goals down to
the absolutely critical
using a
filtering tool for distinguishing
wildly important
goals from the merely important ones
Detect
misalignments with
organizational
objectives
"Clear the path" so you and
your
teammates can
succeed
Create a scoreboard to
know if you're winning
Realize your role in helping
others
keep their
commitments
