Come learn and network with organizations on their journey to excellence -- organizations from all sectors (manufacturing, service, healthcare, education, government, and small business). Hear from 13 organizations how they use Baldrige, Six Sigma, Lean, Scorecard, ISO, and other techniques to improve their outcomes and results during these challenging times. The day is divided into two parts: an afternoon of learning workshops and an early evening of celebration and networking. The afternoon features a keynote address (by Larry Potterfield, founder and CEO of MidwayUSA, a small manufacturer from Missouri and recipient of the 2009 Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award). Governor Pawlenty is also invited to deliver remarks. After lunch, four tracks of breakout sessions feature 12 organizations focusing on some aspect how they are improving their outcomes and processes. A detailed agenda is below. The evening celebration will recognize the Minnesota Quality Award recipient organizations, thank our volunteers, and facilitate networking with leaders interested in continuous improvement, sustainability, and performance excellence. The program will also feature Craig Luzinski, Chief Nursing Officer at Poudre Valley Health System (Colorado) and Brenda Clark, Associate Superintendent of Learning at Iredell Statesville Schools (N Carolina), both 2008 recipients of the Baldrige Award.
