What have you enjoyed the most about being an examiner?
Carrying out Independent Reviews, learning about the organizations and increasing each time my understanding of the Baldrige Criteria.

Learned to keep my experience and knowledge of Quality and Business in the background, focus on the Criteria. Have also become a better listener.
What do you most want to learn from this experience?
How aspects of the Criteria that I consider unique in Quality (resilience, agility, intelligent risks, innovation, systematic learning, systematic identification of indicators and tracking of results) combine to drive organizational excellence and sustainability in today’s and tomorrow’s economic and business environments.
