WHAT WE OFFER YOU

All members receive discounts and/or no-charge seats to our public and to your own private events, if we are asked by a member company to conduct something in-house. Collaboration and networking between our members is also promoted. We are also connected to some of the best organizations in Massachusetts, who also provide their own great networking opportunities. We're not just doing good stuff; we're doing the right stuff. We help you make it happen. Join us.

For example, our discounting helps your membership pay for itself. This varies depending on the event, which may come at no charge for members, but if there is a cost, the savings are always significant, saving your people over $100 per person on each event.

Here are several examples of our public and private and customized single-company Baldrige-related workshops. All our topics relate to the systems of Leadership, Strategic Planning, Customer and Market Focus, Information and Knowledge Management, Workforce Focus, Process Management, and Results.

Baldrige for Managers and Leaders (this looks at Baldrige from the perspective of running the company, not assessing the company)
Developing and Deploying a Strategic Planning System (this is not a strategic planning session, this is all about developing and deploying an effective and systematic planning system
Leadership Development, Communication, and Succession Planning (in addition to employees, leaders need development and a systematic succession plan to ensure organizational continuity, and of course, having an effective leadership communication system )
Proactive Customer Listening and Action Systems (get the edge in competitive advantage by being customer driven)
Application Writing for State or National Baldrige Awards
State Examiner Training

BENEFITS TO IN-HOUSE WORKSHOPS

We have been separate on-site company workshop events. In each event, senior leaders recognized this format was more successful in reaching their goals and the goals of the workshop more so than if they themselves or employees would have traveled off site. These are the advantages:

Advantage 1 –
Learnings customized to your unique business, after all, it is about you.
Advantage 2 –
More people attending, making this a more powerful event, instead of sending just one or two off-site.
Advantage 3 –
Travel and overnight costs eliminated as this is on your home turf. Even just being close to the office helps.
Advantage 4 –
We charge by the event, not by the number of attendees. Fill every seat in the room – at no extra cost.

E-mail or call for additional information. There is no small print. Take this opportunity as a first step to make the one investment that pays off in dividends of success. We’re here for you! You can download the membership form and send it in with payment, or contact our Executive Director, Kay Kendall at 781-801-6893 or kay@massexcellence.com.
