CRITERIA CHAMPION
for Performance Excellence

About the Workshop
The Vermont Council for Quality's Criteria Champion course is a 2-day program on the advanced concepts of the Performance Excellence Criteria. This course gives participants an in-depth understanding of the Core Values, Organizational Profile, and the seven Criteria Categories, including the key linkages between them. The program uses the Malcolm Baldrige Criteria as the primary framework. The course will include lecture, group discussion, and exercises. In this course you will:

  • Gain an in-depth knowledge of the Core Values
  • Complete an Organizational Profile of your organization
  • Study and apply the Criteria with its linkages using your own organization as a case study
  • Acquire an overview of the Scoring Guidelines
  • Identify strengths and opportunities for improvement for your organization
  • Learn practical applications of the Performance Excellence Criteria with local and national organizations
Completion of an Introduction to Performance Excellence workshop or equivalent is highly recommended.
