Baldrige Overall Scoring Band Descriptors - ProcessScore Band Description
0-150 1The organization demonstrates early stages of developing and implementing approaches to the basic Criteria requirements, with deployment lagging and inhibiting progress. Improvement efforts area a combination of problem solving and an early general improvement orientation.
151-200 2
The organization demonstrates effective, systematic approaches responsive to the basic requirements of the Criteria, but some areas or work units are in the early stages of development. The organization has developed a general improvement orientation that is forward-looking.
201-260 3
The organization demonstrates effective, systematic approaches responsive to the basic requirements of most Criteria items, although there are still areas or work units in the early stages of deployment. Key processes are beginning to be systematically evaluated and improved.
261-320 4
The organization demonstrates effective, systematic approaches responsive to the overall requirements of the Criteria, but deployment may vary in some areas or work units. Key processes benefit from fact-based evaluation and improvements, and approaches are being aligned with overall organizational needs.
321-370 5
The organization demonstrates effective, systematic, well-deployed approaches responsive to the overall requirements of most Criteria items. The organization demonstrates a fact-based, systematic evaluation and improvements process and organizational learning, including innovation, that result in improving the effectiveness and efficiency of key processes.

346-390 7
Results address most key customer/stakeholder, market, process, and action plan requirements. Results demonstrate excellence organizational performance levels and some industry leadership. Results demonstrate sustained beneficial trend in most areas of importance to the multiple Criteria requirements and the accomplishment of the organization's mission.
391-450 8
Results fully address key customer/stakeholder, market, process, and action plan requirements and include projections of future performance. Results demonstrate excellent organizational performance levels, as well as nation and world leadership. Results demonstrate sustained beneficial trends in all areas of importance to the multiple Criteria requirements and the accomplishment of the organization's mission.
Baldrige Top Scoring Bands – on 1000 point scale (a 900-1000 point organization)
Process – The organization demonstrates outstanding approaches focused on innovation. Approaches are fully deployed and demonstrate excellent, sustained use of measures. There is excellent integration of approaches with organizational needs. Organizational analysis, learning through innovation, and sharing of best practices are pervasive.
Results – Results fully address key customer/stakeholder, market, process, and action plan requirements and include projections of future performance. Results demonstrate excellent organizational performance levels, as well as nation and world leadership. Results demonstrate sustained beneficial trends in all areas of importance to the multiple Criteria requirements and the accomplishment of the organization's mission.

“The Right Questions to Ask?”
Examples: Problem (Opportunity for Improvement or OFI) indications
1. Key performance metric is not where it should be/we want it to be?
2. Audits indicating non-conformance issues?3. Benchmarking indicates process results are
woeful to comparisons?4. Pattern of customer service complaints not

Over-Arching Tool
PDCA (plan–do–check–act or plan–do–check–adjust) is an iterative four-step management method used in business for the control and continuous improvement of processes and products. It is also known as the Deming circle/cycle/wheel, Shewhart cycle, control circle/cycle, or plan–do–study–act (PDSA). Another version of this PDCA cycle is OPDCA. The added "O" stands for observation or as some versions say "Grasp the current condition." This emphasis on observation and current condition has currency with Lean manufacturing/Toyota Production System literature.[

7 Management Planning Tools1. Affinity Diagram: organizes a large number of ideas into their natural relationships.
2. Interrelationship Diagraph: An interrelationship diagram is an analysis tool that allows a team to identify the cause-and-effect relationships among critical issues. The analysis helps a team distinguish between issues that serve as drivers and those that are outcomes. Use an interrationship diagram when a team is struggling to understand the relationships among several issues associated with a process. The tool can also be useful in identifying root causes, even when objective data is unavailable.
3. Tree Diagram: breaks down broad categories into finer and finer levels of detail, helping you move your thinking step by step from generalities to specifics.
4. Matrix Diagram: shows the relationship between two, three or four groups of information and can give information about the relationship, such as its strength, the roles played by various individuals, or measurements.
5. Matrix Data Aanalysis: a complex mathematical technique for analyzing matrices, often replaced in this list by the similar prioritization matrix. One of the most rigorous, careful and time-consuming of decision-making tools, a prioritization matrix is an L-shaped matrix that uses pairwise comparisons of a list of options to a set of criteria in order to choose the best option(s).
6. Arrow Diagram: shows the required order of tasks in a project or process, the best schedule for the entire project, and potential scheduling and resource problems and their solutions.
7. Process Decision Program Chart (PDPC): systematically identifies what might go wrong in a plan under development.

Opportunity Identification/Business Case
1. What is the key OFI (opportunity for improvement) to be addressed? Why is the OFI an issue and why is it important to fix?
2. What are the Current State key metric data (levels, trends, comparative data)? [Charts and figures are better here than words]
3. What is the “Business Case” for addressing this opportunity?
4. What is the desired future state (To-Be)?
5. What are the gaps between the as-is and the to-be?
6. What is your Y= f(x) model -- the hypothesis regarding key “Causes” and how they are impacting the Y?
