Baldrige ROI at Cargill
The Baldrige program’s Web site has a slide that demonstrates the return on investment of integrating the Baldrige model.
Cargill has an internal assessment program similar to what Tata has now and what Honeywell had in the 1990s, which I wrote about here. Two Cargill business units have won Baldrige Awards, one of them twice. According to the Baldrige program, “Cargill color-codes its businesses based upon their degree of deployment of the Baldrige Criteria. Gold represents businesses with a high degree of deployment; Blue represents businesses with partial deployment; and White represents businesses beginning the Baldrige journey.”
The chart clearly shows the benefit of integrating the Baldrige model, reaffirming the results achieved by Tata, Honeywell, and Baldrige Award winners. According to Jerry Rose, who has spearheaded the Baldrige effort at Cargill, “deciding to embrace the Baldrige program in your company is a commitment to a journey. It takes time, it takes dedication, and it takes resources. What I know for sure is that there is a huge return on your investment.”
