Book Description
The Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award (MBNQA) 2006 Criteria for Performance Excellence and scoring guidelines are powerful assessment instruments that help leaders identify organizational strengths and key opportunities for improvement. The primary task of leaders is then to use the information to improve work processes and achieve higher levels of performance. Insights to Performance Excellence 2006 thoroughly explains the Baldrige Award Criteria for 2006. Author Mark Blazey has simplified the criteria through the use of linkage diagrams and flow charts for each of the items that comprise the criteria. The categories are aligned to reflect a new way of looking at the components of a high performance management system. As always, what distinguishes this book from others on the market is the author's simplification of the 2006 Baldrige Criteria and the application process. Through its use of flowcharts, relationship matrixes, and examples of effective practices to help assess and document continuous improvement efforts, the book will strengthen your understanding of the Baldrige Criteria and provide valuable insights when analyzing your organization, achieving higher levels of performance, and applying for the Baldrige Award.
Changes to this 2006 edition include:
• New information from the Baldrige 2006 Criteria for Performance Excellence to help leaders focus on priority opportunities for improvement and better understand the role they must play in refining their management systems and processes.
• The CD-ROM included with this book has been modified to bring templates and related analyses up to date with the changes in the Criteria.
• New 2006 version of Insights to Performance Excellence in Health Care is included on the CD-ROM.
• New 2006 version of Insights to Performance Excellence in Education is included on the CD-ROM.
• A discussion of the alignment of Baldrige with Six Sigma, Lean Thinking, and Balanced Scorecard is included on the CD-ROM.
Reading Insights to Performance Excellence 2006 will strengthen your understanding of the Criteria and provide insight on analyzing your organization, improving performance, and applying for the award.
Book Description
Many schools have discovered the benefits of using the Baldrige Award Criteria to help evaluate their organizations and improve their overall performance. Insights to Performance Excellence in Education 2003 has been written especially for educational organizations, providing a thorough explanation of the Baldrige Education award.

Forget Madison Avenue! Learn the unvarnished truth about what works, what doesn't and why from the most fascinating storyteller since Paul Harvey.
Customer Reviews:
Great Read.......2007-05-27
This book is great for anyone! A lot of the concepts apply specifically to advertising, but there are great lessons for managers of other industries as well. It's a fast read and a good addition to any collection.
Does Roy H. Williams ( (( Really know )) ) what he's talking about?.......2007-01-29
Prior to reading this first of three books I wondered does Roy H. Williams really know what he's talking about? (I guess when you become a Read-o-holic and you've read more than a few thousand books you began to wonder is this all a game? A game of money for books or what.)
My second thought was has this man compiled some great stories illustrating some pre-used concepts on Marketing? You know something I've heard before. (Because if you're like me you don't need to buy another book that would have been better to convert into firewood or toilet paper).
My third thought was...So what is this magic that Roy means by "The Wizard Of Ads"? It's really quite easy for you to get into the mindset that you've been attracted by another great title worth $16.95 but where's the book?
Well The Wizard of Ads really is quite refreshing even after five years it hasn't lost it's Useful life (depreciated in value) or it's Shelf life by growing stale. I bought this book on January 9, 2002 and it's still helping me convert my thought life over into an amazing master of Marketing.
I'm not going to tell you about the book as much as I am going to tell you why I feel it works for me and if you're lucky and you like what I share it just may be a good book for you to get too. You see Roy H. Williams really has done something fresh.
This book is filled with 100 concepts that every good ad-woman or ad-man should know. And if you're really not into Advertising or Marketing concepts maybe you'll find it in you to tell your mind to "Shut UP!" for a moment so you can see how easily these concepts apply to Selling, Customer Service, Management or becoming a dangerously articulate entreprenuer business person like Roy.
The first of 100 illustrations or stories opens with an interesting conversational tone that pulls you into the dialogue and from there you really never quite feel like Roys talking to anyone but you. That's what grasped my attention.
Next although this book is paper back it is well constructed. Words printed on egg shell white paper and wonderful nostalgic imagery from the past but don't let that fool you. (The stories are quite universal and can be used in various industries). He talks about Mouse Traps, Sharks and Pigs, Nine Secret Words and a Peep behind the curtain (from the Wizard of Oz).
These unusual titles run from the beginning to the end of the book and every story is full of zeal and freshness you can use in your concepts. He helps you formulate a Marketing mindset, an approach and a wise way to tap into your audiences attention without being corny, trite or confusing.
I've waited till now to right this review as it has taken me years to test these ideas again and again. What's nice is they all are effective and cheaper than hiring Roy yourself. But a man with ideas like this is worth hiring. Get the book...It works! And yes Roy H. Williams really knows what he's talking about.
Is there anything I can do for you?
Your Servant,
Deremiah, *CPE
A Fun Read for Anyone - Guaranteed!.......2007-01-12
A fun book full of stories and thoughtful views. The first section is more advertising related... but still interesting. The rest of the book is a wonderful read and VERY entertaining. 1-2 page chapters are great for people like me who can't pay attention very long. Read one a day. Read a few at a time. It's great! Highly recommended.
The Uncreative Need Not Read.......2007-01-03
I agree, the first two-thirds of the book are great, the last third is a little slow. You will find the first third contains the tools to make copywrite magic. The middle third is about "don't blame the advertising guy for customers not coming back because your an inept fool in a business". The last third is about courage to follow your dream.
I have read other marketing books about how to get to the target audience, but none of them discussed the nuts and bolts of what good copy looks like or how to make advertisements that sell. Roy is thought provoking and has great insights. Creativity must be supplied, but the tools of using that creativity are in the book.
Each page is an example of a good advertisement. You become hooked, you become engaged, and you are rewarded by the time you reach the end of the page.
If you are trying to learn how to become a marketer this book also isn't for you, yet. This book works best with someone who already has a foundation in marketing but looking for information on advertising.
Wisdom from the Wizard.......2006-12-09
This book made me a Wizard of Ads junkie. His wisdom and insight in marketing, business, and even your personal life will resonate like a finely tuned instrument. Buy it, read it, again and again.
Five stars out of five. For an outline of this book and other great books in business go.

Personal ads, for the most part, are boring and surprisingly impersonal. You know the type: "SWM into foreign films and Chinese takeout seeks SWF for romantic walks on the beach." Any ad with a modicum of originality stands out. Advertising copywriters Emily Thornton Calvo and Laurence Minsky approach personal-ad writing the way they'd approach writing a product advertisement. Not only do they encourage you to be more clever and creative, but they help you figure out exactly what kind of person and relationship you're seeking, and then they show you how to express that information in an ad. 25 Words or Less is too long for what it accomplishes (the way I figure it, you have to read about 3,000 words for every one that you'll write), but it will certainly help less-inspired writers pen catchier, more effective, more personal ads. --Jane Steinberg
Customer Reviews:
Well Written. . . A Must-Read!.......1999-08-19
Who me? I'll never be desperate enough to pay for a personal ad! If you've ever made that statement, you haven't read what these two professional copywriters have to say about it. This book is loaded with ideas that work. Even if you never place a personal ad, you'll find this book enlightening and entertaining. I especially liked the Foreword, he said, with his tongue in cheek!

A compass on the perilous journey of personal ads dating.......1998-08-28
Finding a soulmate in a newspaper ad or out in cyberspace is dicey enough, but without a guide it's like trying to find a golf ball in a snowstorm.
After reading 25 words or less I feel all warm, fuzzy, and safe...no more barking up the wrong tree or running down blind alleys... this book helps you clarify your objectives and takes all the guesswork out of writing, and placing your ad, as well as helping you along once you decide to meet that special someone.
The thing that impressed me most was the personal "personals" experiences, they were honest, and fascinating. Having true-life excerpts made it very easy for the reader to feel comfortable. I felt like I was getting advice from a friend, unlike other how-to dating books that lecture or talk down to the reader making you wonder if the authors ever dated at all. Wonderful work! Kudos to Emily Calvo and Laurence Minsky!
I've seen and done it all.......1998-08-27
Everyway you can meet someone I've tried and this covers just about all of them and all the good ones. Lot's of realy good examples of the real deal. It's like having a bunch of friends telling you how to do it.
Down-to-earth guide to making "personals ads" really work.......1998-07-20
This book has way more information than you'd think possible about how to write (or answer) a personal ad. If you've tried meeting people through newspaper ads before, and failed miserably, this book will show you why--and what to do next time in order to succeed.
And it's also a quick read, because it's packed with real-life examples of actual ads, success stories, and not-so-successful stories.
