BALDRIGE CRITICISM:
Criteria too focused on business results and not focused enough on quality.
Business results shouldn’t be a criteria because organizations aren’t sure that quality is the right thing to do, so they have to prove it through financial results.
Baldrige recipients are no longer performing as role models.
It’s challenge for former Baldrige Award recipients to keep their workforce committed to Baldrige.
