Baldrige Translation

[mschawitsch]

Hello out there! At Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, we are just starting to work on our Systems Portfolio. So far, I have drafted an outline listing the sections, questions, etc... Now we are ready to begin answering the questions.

Last year, we completed a similar document for the Baldrige National Quality Program. I was wondering if anybody has had any experience in mapping Baldrige criteria to AQIP criteria and would have some tips/tricks/advice to offer?

Thanks so much!

The major difference is that AQIP includes measures in every criteria rather than grouping them all in one, as Baldrige does with its Criterion 7.

And AQIP splits out the work processes that Baldrige collapses into Criterion 6. In AQIP, there are separate criteria for teaching and learning processes, other institutional goals (criterion 2), support processes, and collaboration and partnering. In Baldrige, you'd find these in 6.1, 6.2, etc.
