Call For Examiners {Summer Cycle}
Applications are currently being accepted for the Wisconsin Forward Award Board of Examiners through May 7th. Application materials are available for download under The Forward Award tab. WCPE seeks candidates from all sectors of Wisconsin’s economy, including business, health care, education, manufacturing, not-for-profit, service, and government. Examiners review applications and provide feedback to Wisconsin organizations based on the Baldrige Criteria for Performance Excellence. The Wisconsin Forward Award program provides training and mentoring opportunities. Examiner trainings are held in late January (winter cycle) and June (summer cycle)

Feedback

Forward Award applicants at all application levels receive a written feedback report at the conclusion of the Forward Award process. The feedback report identifies strengths and opportunities for improvement relative to the Award Criteria. By identifying gaps in systems and improvement strategies, the feedback report can assist applicant organizations to improve in a more focused way, such as in the strategic and business planning process.

Every applicant organization can request a post feedback meeting with Examiner representatives to clarify items in the feedback report. Both organizational teams and Examiner representatives find these sessions satisfying and worthwhile.
