<ul>
<li>Supporting learning, as opposed to information dissemination</li>
<li>Using varying formats to address all four major learning styles                    (visual, auditory, tactile, kinesthetic)</li>
<li>Following a mastery learning model: participants need to be                    able to define the concept or tool, describe examples, apply                    the concept or tool to a simple situation, then apply the concept                    or tool to their own project</li>
<li>Infusing key simulations and exercises that allow participants                    to experience concepts first-hand</li>
<li>Creating a facilitative environment where instructors work                    collaboratively with participants to fulfill the learning objectives.</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p><a title="Baldrige Program" href="http://www.statamatrix.com/baldrige/baldrigeoverview.php">The Baldrige Program </a>in a nutshell is a landmark step forward in quality management came in 1988, with                the creation of the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award. The                award is based on the integrated and aligned systems model, which                was the first clearly delineated and internationally recognized                <a title="Total Quality Management" href="http://www.statamatrix.com/baldrige/baldrigeoverview.php">Total Quality Management </a>(TQM) model. The award was developed by                the U.S. Department of Commerce to encourage organizations to embrace                the principles and practices of TQM and thus increase their competitiveness.</p>
<p>The TQM model stems from the work of W. Edwards Deming, Philip                  B. Crosby, Joseph M. Juran, and others. These management theory                  pioneers helped the field of quality evolve from simple quality                  assurance and control into the major movement of Total Quality                  Management.</p>
<p>In 1992, a model akin to that of the Baldrige Award was created                  by the European Foundation of Quality Management and is now the                  basis for the European Quality Award. Today, hundreds of quality                  awards focusing on a systems approach to performance excellence                  are given in countries all over the world and most U.S. states.</p>
<p>Many organizations employ the Baldrige criteria and framework                  to evaluate their performance, so that they can properly compare                  themselves to similar organizations. At STAT-A-MATRIX, we believe                  that the most important outcome of this process is setting your                  organization on the path to performance excellence, not applying                  for and winning an award.</p>
<p><a title="Business Improvement" href="http://www.statamatrix.com/">STAT-A-MATRIX</a> founder Dr. Stanley A. Marash was one of the original                  examiners for Baldrige Award. Because of this unique perspective,                  our consultants understand that it&#8217;s imperative for organizations                  to achieve performance excellence in order to succeed in today&#8217;s                  competitive marketplace. To accomplish this, organizations must                  operate at a variety of different levels and with many different                  viewpoints. The Baldrige Award creates the framework for organizations                  to think strategically.</p>
<p align="center"><img src="http://www.statamatrix.com/images/mbnqa.gif" alt="mbnqa pyramid" width="381" height="245" /></p>
<p>As the accompanying diagram shows, the Baldrige Model focuses                  on operational excellence. To achieve this, organizations utilize                  a variety of improvement methodologies, such as those depicted                  here. The Baldrige Model does not replace these methodologies,                  but instead melds these tools and methods together to help companies                  attain excellence.</p>

<h1>Oriel&#8217;s Process Management Overview</h1>
<ul>
<li>Can your organization easily sustain the gains it’s achieved from improvement projects?</li>
<li>Have your organization&#8217;s key business performance metrics shown meaningful change as a result of improvement initiatives?</li>
<li>Has your organization significantly enhanced its competitive position as a result of improvement activities?</li>
<li>Has your organization freed up a significant amount of cash to either reinvest in the enterprise or increase profitability?</li>
</ul>
<p>If you answer &#8220;no&#8221; to any of these questions, process management can help you maximize your organization&#8217;s effectiveness and turn that &#8220;no&#8221; into a &#8220;yes.&#8221;</p>
<p>To excel, organizations must not only improve their processes but also hold on to and leverage the gains that they make. In order to sustain those gains, executives and managers need to look beyond process improvement projects and focus instead on the methodology required to manage the processes.</p>
<p>Process management allows you to use process thinking in your work to:</p>
<ul>
<li>View process management as a strategic driver for your organization.</li>
<li>Use standard processes and procedures in your work.</li>
<li>Understand customer requirements and know how to meet them.</li>
<li>Interpret measures that enable you to evaluate how the process is performing.</li>
<li>Review and act regularly on data concerning process performance.</li>
<li>Involve process owners in improving the process&#8217; ability to meet customer and organization requirements, and train them to view this role as part of their daily job responsibilities.</li>
<li>Motivate process owners to take responsibility for performance outcomes.</li>
</ul>
<p>By effectively managing cross-functional processes, you ensure a consistent level of service for customers while enabling your organization to decrease costs and cycle times.</p>
<p>The Oriel <a title="process mamagement" href="http://www.orielinc.com/overview.promanage.cfm"><strong>business process management</strong></a> model is a five-stage approach that involves:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Designing</strong> the process management system.</li>
<li><strong>Operating</strong> and using the system to analyze process performance.</li>
<li><strong>Improving</strong> the process where necessary using Lean, DMAIC, and DMADV methods.</li>

<p style="text-align:left;">Designing the process management system involves five activities that work in concert:</p>
<ul>
<li>Establish performance requirements.</li>
<li>Document key processes.</li>
<li>Develop a measurement system.</li>
<li>Create organizational roles.</li>
<li>Implement enabling technologies.</li>
</ul>
<p><em>Deploying the Process Management System</em> examines how to use this system to monitor and analyze your processes with the aid of dashboards and process analysis tools, and identify those processes that are candidates for improvement.</p>
