Beyond Baldrige
	I often get asked about how getting involved with Baldrige (or any of the many international versions, or an own-label internal version) will impact on existing programmes or activities. One of the key messages I always stress is that Baldrige is a test, not a template. Here’s one of my PowerPoint presentations that makes this point, stressing that if you want tools, they come separate – and that a complete tool kit will include reduction of variation (typically via six sigma-like tools), reduction of waste (typically LEAN or an equivalent), and some approach to balance (via a Balanced Scorecard or Triple Bottom Line) Six Sigma Online Training - Six Sigma Online Certification Six Sigma Training by Six Sigma Online, Black Belt Certification, Green Belt Training, DFSS Design for 6 Sigma Courses & Certification "Best Six Sigma Training on the Web" Payment Plans Available!!
