International Experience
Performance Excellence Without Boundaries
The Baldrige framework is increasingly seen as a global standard for defining
and achieving performance excellence. For example, a recent visit to the
corporate website of India's leading information technology firm, Infosys, found
the following discussion of the importance of the Baldrige framework to this
global provider of leading edge IT services:
We couldn't have said it better ourselves.
At GPS we embrace the challenges and opportunities of bridging cultures and
boundaries with Baldrige Performance Excellence. Our multinational team
brings years of experience working in transitional societies around the world,
and we know how to help organizations build capacity and improve performance
in the face of challenging conditions. We don't "reinvent the wheel" at your
expense; instead, we focus on creating immediate value through proven
improvement methods.
Following are examples of how we have used systematic performance
management to create new levels of understanding and improvement in
international organizations.
