Tech Editing
Welcome 2022 tech editors! Technical editing in 2022 will no longer include the “Part 1” phase of previous years in which a technical editor outside the team provided a high-level review of the draft scorebook and communicated suggestions to the team leader. With the redesigned award process in 2022, technical editing will be limited to the thorough quality check of final scorebooks from the Virtual Evaluation for applicants that are not receiving site visits (as determined by the Judges’ Panel’s August meeting).
Master examiners selected as technical editors in 2022 will ensure that the content of a Virtual Evaluation Scorebook adheres to the 2022 Feedback Guidelines (that is, all findings, including the key themes in the first section, must be actionable, aligned, accurate, and appropriate). The scorebook is then checked for grammar and style by a BPEP editor. The end result is a high-quality feedback report for an award applicant—a key customer product of the Baldrige Performance Excellence Program.
2022 Tech Editing Volunteers
Examiners with the expertise to serve in this role (limited to master examiners) will be contacted directly by a BPEP editor in late May and provided with information on the process. Not all volunteers may be selected due to the limited number of scorebooks/feedback reports available each year.
