The Wisconsin Forward Award evaluation process is carried out by our very esteemed Board of Examiners. Examiners are professionals representing all sectors of Wisconsin’s economy. The Wisconsin Forward Award program is modeled after the Baldrige Performance Excellence program, and while WFA processes are slightly different, both programs use the Criteria for Performance Excellence found in the Baldrige Framework as the foundation for applicant review.Examiners work in teams assigned to each application and conduct all phases of the evaluation. There are Team Leaders (examiners with advanced understanding of the Baldrige Criteria, well-developed project management and team skills, who have the responsibility for leading the examiner team and producing the feedback report) and examiner team members (with beginning to advanced understanding of the Criteria and their application).
