The judging process this year will be very similar to last year, combining a desk-top business study by staff from the Massey University Business School with a follow up by on-site judging from the Westpac Northland Business Excellence Awards judging panel.
Once again, a modified Baldrige criteria based closely on a standard developed by the New Zealand Business Excellence Foundation will be used. This system allows for the equitable comparison of businesses of unlike scale and nature based on measurable qualities.
A special thanks for Massey University and Gilmore Brown for their facilitation of the judging process and ongoing support.
