2021 Silver Quality Award Workshop

This Program is to be held on Zoom on October 7, 9, 16, 23, and 28th from 2-5 pm ET

(15 NAB Hours Available)

ABOUT THE AWARD

Bronze recipients have three years to apply for Silver from the year they received the Bronze award. Silver recipients outline their systematic approaches and demonstrate sustainable organizational and process results linked to their key customer requirements, success factors, and challenges.

This workshop is about more than an award; besides gaining a better understanding of what examiners are looking for and how to use the award criteria as an improvement tool, you will learn how to use the award process to focus, align, and accelerate your performance excellence efforts thus becoming a high performing organization.

VIRTUAL EVENT
