**[Baldrige Application Self-Analysis Worksheet
(optional)]{.smallcaps}**

(not to be submitted with your Baldrige application)

While insights gained from external Examiners or reviewers are always
helpful, you know your organization better than they will. You are
currently in an excellent position to identify your organization's key
strengths and key opportunities for improvement (OFIs). Having just
completed your responses to the Baldrige Criteria questions, you can
accelerate your improvement journey by doing a self-analysis.

Use this optional worksheet to list your key strengths and key OFIs.
Start by identifying one or two strengths and one or two OFIs for each
Criteria category. For those of high importance, establish a goal and a
plan of action.
