Work in progress- Under the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award (MBNQA) framework I am pursuing numerous research projects.  Current work focuses on the relationship between organizational productivity as measured using a MBNQA based instrument and other productivity models. Consistent with the application of quality and productivity improvement is the assessment of performance.
