Baldrige Technical Editing Survey

Dear Tech Editor,

Now that you have completed the final review of the [     ] Consensus Review feedback report you were assigned as a technical editor, we would appreciate capturing your estimation of the extent of revisions you found it necessary to make, the areas in which the draft report may have needed rework when you received it, and your suggestions for process improvements to reduce technical editing needed after examiner teams complete consensus scorebooks in the future.

Would you please respond to the questions below and return this survey by e-mail to us?

We plan to use input from you and other respondents of this survey for learning and improvement of our training and award processes next year and beyond.

We greatly appreciate your role in helping us improve the quality of Baldrige feedback reports!
