Tata Power

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. I eagerly await getting my own copy of the latest edition every time its out!

This book shows a blueprint that comprehensively illustrates practical and effective tools for tracking and measuring organizational performance. We are proud that they have included TCIL examples.

Sunil Sinha, CEO

The book makes an excellent attempt not only at demystifying the Baldrige framework but also at explaining the ‘DO HOW’ of performance excellence. The appeal of the book will cut across levels and functions – for change management professionals it provides a ready reference to proven tools and methodologies, for senior leaders it provides an inspiring perspective of world class performance, for management professionals it is a high quality reference manual on organization, strategy and processes.
