From Baldrige to the
Bottom Line:
A Road Map for Organizational Change and Improvement
Hutton,
David W., 319 pages. ISBN 0-87389-473-1 . 6 x 9 Hardcover. 2000
$55.00
It's one of the best-kept 'secrets' of the corporate world: for years, leading companies have been quietly using the Baldrige framework-not just to apply for this prestigious award-but to improve their bottom line results. Companies such as IBM, FedEx, and Xerox have been using Baldrige to conduct organizational assessment as a way of driving their improvement efforts. And pioneering organizations in other sectors-such as education, health care and government-are also using assessment to improve their 'bottom line': improved efficiency and better service to students, patients and citizens.
Best selling author David Hutton has drawn from his extensive assessment experience to create this in-depth handbook. Hutton not only shows how the assessment process works from A to Z, but also explains how to adapt the process to fit the needs of any organization. Written in a clear and logical style that avoids the use of jargon, From Baldrige to the Bottom Line will help any organization begin their improvement journey, stay on track, and get results.
