This book does an excellent job of demystifying TBEM (Baldrige Model). It is a valuable tool both for drivers of Business Excellence in organisations, as well as external and internal assessors. The case studies of approaches that excellent organizations have adopted, along with the tools that the authors have designed, provide organizations that are serious about the next levels of excellence with a road map of organisational development.
